I'm an Essex girl! In the 1980s I trained as a Speech and Drama teacher and have worked in theatres and schools in both Essex and Kent.

I am currently organising "Nurseries Together" for Starfish Malawi where I link nursery schools in the UK with those in Malawi.

Date of Trip: October 2014

I see this as an exciting challenge and an opportunity to raise money to help Starfish Malawi and children suffering from autism.
