Joanna Brittain lives in Leicestershire. She likes the idea of the project being about ordinary people. She works in Hinckley teaching English and media. She told her students about the project who were very excited. She is going to share some of her hour with the students she teaches reading out their messages to the world. She is also going to read poems for people who are important to her and if she has time she will play some music. She wants to connect with people. She is very glad she is not doing the project at night. Her best friend says that she tries to do positive things. She is originally from Bedfordshire and moved to Leicester to study. She likes being a teacher because she can help people get somewhere. She likes the democratic nature of the project.
