Celebrating Diversity Of Nations That Make Up The Modern Commonwealth

At primary school, I remember we used to have a large poster of the flags of the Commonwealth on the wall of the classroom. I used to daydream about what kids my age would be doing in those countries – what was their school day like?

Were their teachers nice? Did they also hate sitting down all day and long to get out into the playground and run around (in my case, usually in the rain....). I think this daydreaming is what started me out on my travelling life and, eventually, many years later brought me to Botswana.

March 13 is Commonwealth Day, a day to celebrate the diverse partnership of nations that makes up the modern Commonwealth. From the world’s largest democracy to tiny island nations, we are part of an organisation that spans six continents and 2.4 billion people – one third of the world’s largest population.  It is a unique organisation, and together, if we want to, we can deliver on global issues like no other.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
