June Sarpong goes to Ghana with Oxfam
 Browsing through the Evening Standard yesterday (as you do) we saw a rather eye-catching story about June Sarpong's recent visit to Ghana (her native country) with Oxfam. June went to see for herself the difficulties faced by Ghana's rice farmers, who have suffered from imported rice (mainly from the US) flooding the market. Seeing the effect of unfair trade on the families of Ghana was clearly emotional for June - 'Every evening I've been in tears' - but she's returned determined to influence politicans and celebrities to make a difference. 'We're the me, me, me generation,' she said. 'I think most people don't think about others, not becuase they don't care but because they don't have to. It's important to get that generation proactive'. We'll have more about June's trip - including pics - on this site really soon. In the meantime, she's agreed to take your questions about her trip, her involvement with Oxfam and her interview with the PM not so long ago. So, send us your questions - we'll send the best ones to June and post her answers in the coming weeks.
