The Food Frontline; how support changes futures.

March 11, 2013 by

Last year an amazing group of parent bloggers and I came together to support the trip that Sian went on to Niger, launching the #ShareNiger campaign to raise awareness of the plight of families struggling against drought and hunger. We now sponsor 11 beautiful children between us from Tera and the letters that come back […]

Childhood

July 23, 2012 by

  This is the image that says childhood to me. The sun is shining, the children are wearing clothes which suit their style but which have seen their day. Those clothes are an invitation to play; everyone came home dusty and scruffy that day. The sun hats show they are loved and that someone has […]

An Update on ShareNiger

July 21, 2012 by

If you were following me a few weeks ago when I posted about sponsoring children in Niger with WorldVision then you might like an update on what we have achieved so far. After a slow start, almost 60 bloggers came together to sponsor an incredible 11 children in the Tera region of Niger. 11 girls […]

After a slow start my spirits soared as we came within a tiny distance of sponsoring six children in Niger, I was feeling disappointed in what I had achieved but actually, it suddenly struck me that in 3 days bloggers and readers of blogs have pledged £1700. We are going […]

What I really learned at Cybher.

May 18, 2012 by

Last weekend I went to a conference designed for bloggers. I’ve been before to similar (as blogged previously when I went to BlogCamp and Cybermummy) but CybHer was designed specifically in response (I think) to some people feeling dissatisfied with Cybermummy being a little, shall we say, superficial. I sat next to Sian (CybHer’s erm.. […]
