Welcome to this new blog! Thankyou very much for visiting it :) For those of you who are new to me, my name is Hebe Barlow. I am 19 years old and I have just returned from my gap year in the south of Namibia, where I was working as a volunteer teacher in the tiny, rural village of Tses. Throughout my year away I kept a blog about everything that my partner Daisy and I were getting up to, so if you haven't heard anything about my adventures and would like to learn more (or if you're simply curious), then please visit my old blog at:

If however, you already knew all of that, then thankyou again for visiting this blog :) As I have said before, I don't want the end of my gap year to also mean the end of my connection with Tses, or the children that I met there. Despite the difficulties that I may have faced during my year away I truly came to love the children, and I still want to try to make a difference to their lives, however I can. So I have decided that I shall continue trying to fundraise for them, and, of course, 100% of the profit will go towards Tses, and the children.
So this blog is set up, and dedicated to one thing, and one thing only, reporting on my progress. Here I will explain all of my fundraising efforts, report how much I managed to make from them, and explain exactly where the money is going. I'm also hoping that future volunteers in Tses will be able to help with this when they are in Tses.
So once again, thankyou for looking at this blog. I don't know how long it will be going for, or how often I will be posting on here, but whatever happens I will try to keep it up to date! So here it begins, a new blog, a new challenge, a new adventure :)
