@martine_sobey@UKinLesotho Welcome to the beautiful Mountain Kingdom Your Excellency. I think it would be fitting to visit Thaba Bosiu then of course to the magical Malealea Valley with your hosts the Malealea Development Trust based at the multi award winning Malealea Lodge. Kea Leboha.
My first glimpses of the Mountain Kingdom ⛰️ 🇱🇸. It’s early spring here and the peach trees are in blossom 🌸.
What should I get out and see in my first weeks & months?
A genuine privilege to have spent time with His Majesty King Letsie III during my time in Lesotho. A truly great leader.
I said farewell to His Majesty and presented him with the recipe to the King Letsie III quiche created for his visit last year to the Eating House in Calver.
We're thrilled to unveil the Theatre of Life, an outdoor amphitheatre connecting sport, art, education & nature, enabling us to deliver community programmes and cultural activities surrounded by indigenous plants and with our 11-a-side football pitch providing a unique backdrop!
The Biodiversity Stands at the Stadium of Life @kick4life are halfway to completion & work on the amphitheater is in progress!
This space will promote environmental education & community engagement through sustainable design.💚♻️

@HarryMacDonald0@sheffhallamuni Sue touched many lives in Lesotho in particular the community of Malealea where there has been an outpouring of love over the past few days. RIP beautiful soul.
I was saddened to learn of the passing of the wonderful Sue Bulley. Sue had visited Lesotho several times and loved this country. Sue's determination to make a real difference was instrumental in creating the partnership between @sheffhallamuni and National University of Lesotho

Delighted to host a Hemp Executive Forum discussion with officials from a range of Government institutions. Thanks to @riseint_org
for the expert leadership.
Hemp looks like a sector that could flourish here in Lesotho including for construction but it needs the right regulation
