      Hi, well there is way, way, more need for money in South Africa than there is the UK for health, housing, social conditions, education etc. etc. The people who run I’m a Scientist have given us tight restrictions on what we can spend the money on though. It has to be spent on engaging school kids with our scientific work. This restriction makes it more difficult. STRICTLY speaking the money should be spent on YOU. And you deserve to have the money spent on you as much as South African school kids. Having said that I would like to spend the money in Africa. I can always sneak out of work and visit a few schools in the UK aswell!!
