A Gift from Jason Pope

Jason's Garden on the Eastcliff at Teignmouth is a garden created by the parents of Jason Pope kidnapped in Angola over nine years ago. Jason a Geologist was kidnapped by Unita rebels from the Yetwene Diamond mine in Northern Angola in 1998. His parents, Alan, Nev and brother Damian along with help from their daughter Vashita and her husband Patrick have toiled for over five years on this garden. No word on the fate of Jason has ever reached his family, although his mother Nev still has not completely given up hope of news. The garden is now complete and open to the public at specified times during the year. The views are stunning and the garden is so peaceful with many unusual features and exhibits. Various charities benefit from the open days and lectures given by Nev about the building of the garden. It was a great honour for my Charity SENSE - Devon branch to be chosen to share in last year's proceeds. I am pictured with Damian Pope who handed me a cheque for £150 for my Chairman's Charity and I am very grateful. http://www.jasonsgarden.com/
