I am in my first year at Edinburgh University studying Physical Education. Every summer, the University of Edinburgh sends six students to Lusaka, Zambia with the aim of making a difference to the lives of young Zambian people by empowering and enriching communities, through the power of sport, leadership and education.

I set off on my journey to Africa in July 2022. I volunteered for this project to empower young people in poverty through sport, I’ll be focusing on football during my time there. This experience will provide me with cultural knowledge that I believe will benefit me on my journey in becoming a teacher.
