Alek Wek is working on plans with her uncle in the Sudan embassy in London to open a mixed secondary school on the Nile in Sudan.
"My father always stressed education. I didn't understand it when I was young but I understand now." She told DRAPERSONLINE.COM
Always ambitious, Alek Wek continues to add to her design work with new handbags, jewellery and accessories for her Wek 1933 label, (1933 being the year her father was born).
Having written a book, she has also indicated that she would like to start a family. She’s going to be busy as she plans to keep on modelling but in moderation.
