Back to Africa, back to blogging! Whilst I'm fairly confident my only current reader will be my mum, I feel I should start with a quick introduction to who I am, why I'm blogging and what a pair of pink shoes have to do with anything. A law student and current Project Worker with Education Partnerships Africa, I will be spending the next ten weeks working with the charity in southern Uganda, investing in a technical school in Mbarara to improve opportunities for local young people.
For some unintelligible reason, in a last minute packing crisis, I have packed my luminous running shoes : neon pink, with more garish neon green soles, and inevitably muddy/sweaty/often both. Heaven only knows why I've brought them: as a lifelong exercise-phobe, they are a curious choice to say the least. However, I'm hoping that this blog will serve as a record of my volunteering, my travels and the many weird and wonderful tracks trodden by my pink shoes and I.
*UPDATE - Finally, one or two photos of the house!*
