6,441 Miles Away from Home
About Sophie
It's been quite a while since my last blog entry, getting a quick enough connection that doesn't crash when I try to update this thing has been a bit of a night mare!

On 31st August 2011 I'll be leaving Sheffield to spend a year in Uganda. I'll be living 6,441 miles away in Mubende, central Uganda, between 2.5 and 3 hours away from the capital, Kampala. As a volunteer for Project Trust, I will be working at St Zoe Secondary and Vocational School as a teacher, teaching classes of 30+ children ranging in age from 12-23. I hope this blog can be a little window into my year abroad!
