Last week finished with two highlights so far:

– Firstly, meeting Clement Chileshe, the man who founded Sport in Action in 1998 and who is a passionate advocate of sport for development, at the Olympic Youth Development Centre in Lusaka (incidentally, the OYDC is a tremendous facility and more of that later); and

– Secondly, visiting an SIA programme in action in the Chipata compound, seeing the difference that sport makes to these kids. The HIV/Aids rate amongst these children has been estimated at up to 70%. But all you’ll see in these images are views of children enjoying sport, working as a team, playing nicely with each other and preparing for a game of football the next day against another district.

After a successful fourteen year career in business, predominantly in the business of sport, I retrained as a teacher. I am currently a Head of Prep and Vice-Chair of a Multi Academy Trust. As a hard working and ambitious person with a passion for learning, I love working with and leading children and staff. I use my experiences and skills to inspire and ensure the academic, extra-curricular and pastoral development of each individual.
