Who says models can't multi-task?! |
When supermodel Alek Wek is not designing handbags for her label Wek 1933, (the year her father was born), or working on her new book, she'll be planning the opening of a new school.
"I'm working with my uncle in the Sudan embassy in London to
open a secondary school on the Nile in Sudan. It would be made up of 50
percent boys and 50 percent girls," Wek explained to Vogue UK in a
recent issue. "My father has always stressed education. I didn't
understand it when I was young, but I understand now."
Even though opening the school will be a huge task, Wek will
still be adding lots of new handbags and jewelry to her Wek 1933 label,
but she does plan on slowing down in the modeling arena.
"I'll
keep on modeling but in moderation - I've done my share. I don't want
to be too busy and I would like to have a family of my own. But that
takes a lot of time."
A mini Alek, hmmmmm....only time will tell! |
