If you're reading this blog then congratulations, you've found me..!
I thought that setting one of these up would be easy, but alas my lack of technological 'know-how' proved otherwise. Now that I have in part discovered the process though, here's hoping to good internet access in South Sudan and the ability to keep you entertained with pictures and stories.
Having my first mission in Sudan is actually quite fitting for me. Not long before moving to the UK everyone was reporting on the genocide taking place in Darfur (or the debate as to whether genocide was actually taking place) and during this time I watched a really interesting documentary. This wasn't the first documentary that made me cry, however looking back on it now, I do think that it was the first time that the seed of possibility planted itself in my head.
Somewhere between then and now the flower grow and I finally realised what it is that I want to do with my life. Although many people (my Dad mainly) laugh at my 'wanting to save the world' ideals, I do believe that it is many individual people who take steps (both big and small) to making this world a better place. Without these individuals and the influence that their steps and contributions make who knows where we'd be....
So 5 years later here I am.. Off to Sudan..! My first step....
Wish me luck...
