I am presently running conservation breeding programme near the Iraqi border in Kuwait. I work for The prime Minister of Kuwait. I have been been breeding houbara up in Uzbekistan, near the Afghanistan border, and also in Algeria, all very dangerous places. I used to run chicken farms at Kirkbride and Canonbie, Alstonby then went to Sierra Leone and Nigeria. My two sons born in Carlisle were both in 2PARA and served in Iraq and Afghansiatan too, both William Howard schoolboys. My website is www.vasshoubara.com and i hope when i return in early September there could be an interest story there. Carlisle United fan too go to website via google is best.

Yes, she can learn and show things that will help both
