A lot of you have been pressuring me to make another post. So here it is:

Lets start of with what has happened since my last post.

I got my Queens Award
I got a flat
Ive started playing squash every week

Oh i just read this:

AFRICA : Teenage Mothers School Project - Zambia
It has been observed that most girls are failing to continue with their education as a result of teenage pregnancy. Although the Ministry of Education has come up with a policy of allowing teenage mothers to go back to school after delivery, very few are doing so.
Research has shown that girls are failing to go back because they are not sensitized on the policy and their fundamental educational rights. They also find it difficult to leave their babies and stay in school for eight hours. Other girls in school also ridicule them thus feelings of being out of place. It is also noted that the men responsible for their pregnancy often abandon them without any form of support.
The Girls' Brigade of Zambia seeks to bring teenage mothers back to school and promote the importance and rights of education for girls and also provide good baby care to affected teenage mothers.

That sounds like something i want to be a part of, but Zambia...? Odd place, i don't know if id want to move that far...especially with Mikey. Though it does sound intriguing.
