44 members of the Conservative Party in the UK have volunteered to work on projects in Rwanda.

"This issue is central to the Conservative party and I think to British politics," said Mr Mitchell. "Our generation is the generation that is going to make a real difference to the enormous discrepancy of wealth that exists between the rich world and the poor world, which is obscene."

Andrew Mitchell is the shadow international development secretary in the British Parliament.
