Buswoman's holiday for HIV and Aids campaigner

Inviolata Mmbwavi is the national coordinator of the Network of People Living with HIV/Aids in Kenya. She is HIV positive herself and in Edinburgh to highlight what she calls the "social ills linked to poverty" - lack of access to education, and lack of access to medicines.

This is also what she does in Kenya, but there it is not some of the most powerful in the world she is trying to persuade of the link, but some of the poorest. Ms Mmbwavi is in Scotland with the charity ActionAid, who sent a bus from Johannesburg to Edinburgh to collect messages from the people of Africa to the leaders of the G8. The bus arrived in the Scottish capital today, and you can see some images from the film here.

Her role was to mobilise local communities and civil society groups to welcome the bus, and to understand the difficulties in their lives were essentially political - the consequence of policies from international trade to drug licencing that someone, somewhere down the line, had one day chosen.
