I didn't know about the IDRC ... discovered the organization today, and they were too exciting not to share. IDRC - International Development Research Centre This how they describe themselves: I DRC believes that research and innovation hold the keys to progress in developing countries.  To make knowledge a tool for addressing pressing challenges, we provide researchers in developing countries with the financial resources, advice, and training that will help them find solutions to the local problems they identify we encourage sharing knowledge with policymakers, other researchers, and communities around the world we foster new talent by offering fellowships and awards we disseminate research findings and strive to get new knowledge into the hands  of those who can use it.

And do and go and thwart and cart – Come, come, I’ve hardly made a start! A dreadful language? Why man alive! I’d mastered it when I was five. Bloody hell -- the English language is hard !
