We met as Trustees on Sunday and had the pleasure of appointing Sean as a Trustee…
Sean Clarke is the son of Dr Ian Clarke. He was born in Northern Ireland and grew up in Bangor, Co. Down until 1989 when he was 11 and the family moved to Uganda. He attended a boarding school in Kenya until he completed his GCSEs, then moved with the family to High Wycombe (England) for 2 years, where he attended the Royal Grammar School, did his A-levels and first met Kevin and Ryan Duffy.
He spent a year off working as a volunteer in Uganda, then moved to Bristol to do microbiology, then a PGCE teaching qualification. He taught Science at secondary level for 3 years in Bristol, where he met Linzi his wife. They both moved to Lebanon to work as voluntary teachers for 2 years, but are now back in Bristol and have a baby girl. Sean opened a coffee shop called Kuvuka in Bristol about 2 years ago, and is currently serving the perfect lattes for a living!
Sean still sees Uganda as a second home, and plans to move back at some stage. He sees his involvement with Suubi Trust as a great way to feel connected with the work his Dad is doing back home.
It’s great to have him on board; Sean has kindly offered to be our prime link to the emerging work in Pader; more on that soon.
