Xavier Project was founded by Edmund Page in 2008 as a result of his own experience of volunteering at an informal school in Uganda. Edmund witnessed Congolese children who could not recognise ABC. Following his trip, he committed to sponsoring eight Congolese refugees through school in Kampala. Xavier Project now supports the formal and tertiary education of thousands of children and adult refugees across Kenya and Uganda through community-based partnerships and pioneering learning programmes.

Today, we're delighted to share an article from good friend, Robert Coucher, the International Editor of Octane Magazine which features classic and performance cars. 
 
Robert used to have a real job in advertising with Ogilvy & Mather ad agency. But his love was always old motor cars so he created Octane magazine in 2003 (Classic and performance cars) which expanded into Enzo, the Ferrari magazine, as well as Vantage, the Aston Martin magazine.  His magazines were sold to Dennis Publishing in 2007. Robert’s daily driver in London is a 1955 Jaguar XK 140 fixed head coupe.
