SO THAT YOU DON’T HAVE TO ASK WHAT I AM UP TO THESE DAYS, HERE IS A BRIEF UPDATE:
Thanks so much for contacting me. Whilst you are waiting for me to respond I would like to share some news update with you . Many great things keep happening in my journey to set up a global networking for girls’ networks in Africa. The support base is growing and each individual who comes to be part of our work gives something unique which I cherish. In life you must come to a stage where after much hard work you think about the best that you can do and then do it. In spite of everyday challenges we must continue everyday. I am an optimist and think everything that I am passionate about will work out – it may take a long time but at the end something will come of it. And so I keep going.

ON THE UP BOOK LAUNCH – WE ARE FEATURED TOGETHER WITH TOP AFRICAN CHANGEMAKERS
On another note our story was included in yet another amazing book launched in London called On The Up. It features stories of entrepreneurs in Africa who are trying to do the impossible. Nikki and Rob Wilson travelled throughout Africa documenting innovative projects by social entrepreneurs. They included Girl Child Network in Zimbabwe and visited one of our Girls’ Empowerment Villages. They were so moved by the hard work and passion that they saw in Africa.
