About Me

I'm just an average girl who wants to be in the thick of the action in
changing the world.

I dream big. I always have.

Ever since I was about 12 years old I've dreamt of Africa.
Working in Africa.
Living in Africa.
Helping Africa and Africans.

I remember when Band Aid was on. A spark had already my lit inside me but watching those horrifying images as a child the spark grew into a wildfire.

Theres been times in my life when I've tried to hide the fire. Doing things in the background and hoping I wouldn't get noticed. But no matter how hard I tried the passion inside me screamed to be let out.

So here I am.
Screaming to be heard. Trying to set fire inside others.
One person can make a difference .

What will our generation be remembered for?
Internet - Yes. War on Terror - Yes.
Wouldn't it be great if we were also remembered
for being the ones for set about
making poverty history .
- Bono
