Any idea on where I can find Swahili lessons or classes in Sheffield?
I'm walking from Sheffield to South Africa starting in June 2013 for water-poverty based charities and I think a little language would go a long way!
On another note, does anyone know any good hearted web designers interested in a charity website, or need more work for a portfolio?
We could definitely use some help!
Thanks
If anyone's interested in having a look at the project, it's called The Long Well Walk, can find it on facebook for now.

Yes, my company offers an online Swahali course for basic conversation. http://www.sheffieldtraining.co.uk/index.php?page=languages usually £25 but will do at cost as it's a good cause. Call me if interested.
As for web site design, i would recommend you use a content management system rather than try to learn any skills. www.cmsmadesimple.org is open source so you can download and use and make a donation if you end up using it.
Guess i could also offer advice and guidance on drilling water wells. Have 18 years as drilling fluid engineeer in middle east and North sea!

If you were walking from Sheffield to South Africa would Swahili be the most appropriate language?

Sorry for the delay, the notifications stopped coming to my inbox, no doubt some glaringly obvious oversight on my part.
