Hi, and welcome to my new blog. This is something a little different for me, but hopefully by writing it I'll give you some idea of the range and variety of my work... and at the same time show how Sightsavers is changing the lives of millions of people around the world.

Mostly, I'll be writing it 'on the go', however, sometimes I have to travel in areas which have limited internet access - this is actually true of many of the countries in which we work - so some of my posts will have to be retrospective. In this way, I'm going to kick things off by going back over and writing about a recent trip I took to Ghana, which will be coming in instalments over the next few days.
