Introduction

I've never written a blog heretofore, mostly because they would consist of nothing but my latest Bejewled scores (which is an impressive 747,400 by the way). Now I am going on this Global Xchange placement to Namibia and Newcastle I have a valid reason to make one.

So, as of October, I will be spending 12 weeks in Rundu, Namibia, followed by 12 weeks in Newcastle, UK. This is one of many volunteering placements with Global Xchange. Before going I need to raise £1000 as well as having all sorts of liquids injected into my arm.

This page will cover my pre-departure trainings and fundraising as well as how the 3 months in both Namibia and Newcastle pan out. So please have a read - I will keep my posts short and sweet to avoid boring people. Also visit my Just Giving Page for more information about my placement.
