A year of doing something a little bit different. Myself and my husband are spending one year in Africa, volunteering for a charity to help mobilize local communities and the church to help those who are the poorest of the poor. Long time no blog…. April 4, 2014. Well it’s been a while… it is now around 20months ago that we left Zambia…and finally….I’m getting to go back! School term finished today so I can now get my head around the fact I’m off to Africa again. October 23, 2012. Lots of children captur...

A year of doing something a little bit different. Baxter’s in……? October 22, 2012. The most popular two questions I’ve been asked since returning are. 8216;What’s it like being back in the UK? 8216;Have you settled back in yet? Seemingly simple questions, yet incredibly complex and deep, in which my response can change weekly! It is so refreshing to speak so easily in our language, using our funny English phrases and not be misunderstood or not understood at all! Its been made it even more clear t to me ...

A year of doing something a little bit different. One day I’ll tell you their story…. June 23, 2012. For those reading on email, you’ll need to go to the blog to see the pictures! Just some of the children I’ve met over the past couple of weeks…. Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;. You formed me in my mother’s womb. I thank you, High God you’re breathtaking!

A year of doing something a little bit different. Missing moments: The girl who captured my heart…. October 23, 2012. Close to the Congo border, far off the beaten track, we visited a community which had seemingly been forgotten by most of the world…. Incredibly, the CBO (community-based organisation) that Hands at Work partners with were running a free community school, a feeding programme and carrying out home visits to many of the most vulnerable children who lived there. Despite not being able to com...

A year of doing something a little bit different. July 2, 2012. Beautiful seeds which create some of the unusual plants and trees in the bush…. The first is one of my favourite photos in June. The middle looks hairy but they’re actually small spikes! A rock solid seed…. This bizarre ‘seed’ is actually the shell housing hundreds of seeds! It has another layer round it but it was peeled off – the outside is hard but turns very spongy when wet. People in the bush often use it to wash with! Life is…by ...
