"I have never been to Africa before so it will be entirely new to me. I am hoping that this will help me to see things with fresh eyes, and a fresh perspective.
I hope to show how people in the Chipapa District are becoming economically empowered through development initiatives which provide people with the knowledge and the skills to work their way out of hunger and poverty.
The focus will be on the everyday lives of ordinary people what are their hopes, aspirations; what are the challenges they face, and also what are the steps being taken to achieve a better life for the generations to come.
Ciara has travelled extensively in Europe, China, South-East Asia, and South and Central America, and has written for Rough Guides travel books since 2007. She is currently working with The Sunday Times newspaper in Dublin.
The month-long assignment in Africa is being undertaken in collaboration with The Irish Times online. Ciara's regular reports and video blogs will be hosted by the online edition of the newspaper at http://www.irishtimes.com/blogs/avillageinafrica/.
The project also has the support of the Online Journalism department at the DCU School of Journalism.
