Got the story
It's been a long long long journey and since our last post. Debbie came to us after our last idea was thwarted into pieces. She had a lead on a story about the feeding schemes in the Eastern Cape and our angle has been to look at how the scheme has been working and why people were not delivering food to the schools. So we got right on it and went to look at newspaper clippings and surfed the net so we could get more information. We also mde an appointment with the guy investigating the scheme. So we learned that the story we were following was not entirely valid since we were looking at a pilot scheme rather than a scheme filled with corruption. Well there is a little bit of corruption but that's not the only reason why it was not working. So Debbie was on the phone making calls to people all over the place so we can get a lead on a good story. We spoke to Paddy and Alette about our story. There were various angles that we could look at. The problem is, the best angle we'd have into the story would mean some serious investigative work. So we were distraught again. Then Alette suggested the angle of looking at a child who benefits from the school. A child without much food at home or where the parents are not employed. We didn't get that kid, but we got something close to it so we're following that angle.
