Zimbabwe. A collapsed economy. No jobs. Runaway inflation. Rampant AIDS. A ruinous brain drain. How did it happen? Can anything be done to turn it around? More specifically, just how much can two people do to help? When Ken and Mags May took their professional skills to Zimbabwe they were hoping to do something useful but knew little of the country and people. Against a background of increasing political turmoil, letters home chart their emotional ups and downs, their practical efforts to improve life for some of the peasant farmers and urban poor they meet, and their thoughts on the country's future.
