The Butterflies have been out doing their own outreach in their spare time! They did it all without any instruction from me! #proudmoment #hivprevention #zambia

2013 has been such a great year for us! The #meetmutsadanceathon took place in LDN & NY and raised £4000. I got to go to Mukuni twice to deliver the project and have two volunteers join me. The intake rose from 15 young people to 40. Countless words of encouragement and time along the way. It's overwhelming to think about it all but so necessary to do. I am ridiculously grateful for what 2013 has brought and am amped for 2014! Starting it off by #gettingjosiastoschool!

Thank you SO much to everyone who donated even over Christmas! We're now at £290 and have 11 days to go. The link is in my bio #getjosiastoschool #meetmutsa #zambia

This newsletter along with all the videos and photos I've uploaded this far should give an idea of how this trip went.

I'm going to try and do a video post over the weekend. This has been my first week back and the levels of admin has been ridiculous! So I'm going to post outstanding clips of the group and pictures and..maybe film a video blog and keep things moving.

I can already hear 2014 pounding at my door with big plans! I have a lot of work to do.

To round off my trip, I had the pleasure of being on Radio Phoenix in Lusaka as a guest on DJ Luche's show.

This was definitely a highlight of my trip. I had so much fun!
