It’s about time I wrote another entry into my blog, it seems slightly neglected!
It’s been two months since my last entry and a lot has happened!
We’re well on track for hitting our target where around the £2,000 mark at the moment!
There has been so much to do!
I have sorted out a non uniform day with my school, where I’m hoping to get £200, but I’ve had some fantastic dontations, £90 donated from some very generous people. The most successful thing so far has definately been the sponsorship forms me and my dad have managed to raise £620!
Today we have finally organised our most exciting fundraiser yet, Coracle Run ( a little fishing boat that you paddle with one hand!) going for a bout 12 miles and will take around 4 hours
! We’re going to hold a raffle, BBQ and “Guess the Length of Time the Journey Took” that will be on the 7th April. Cannot wait to start work again, time to make some money for myself!
I haven’t just been concentrating on fundraising, I have joined the Lattitude online community where I have been able to talk online with some of the volunteers I will be going with, which is so exciting!
Last week I went to sort out my vaccinations, Ahh! Lots of scary jabs I have to have!
Every little thing now is getting closer, my 6 month pack from Lattitude has given me action points of everything I need to do before I depart.
I’m so excited, slightly anxious and stressed, but at the end of the day, you don’t get something for nothing, with great experiences comes hard work and preseverance!
I find that looking at quotes always helps with the motivation, but also reading all the other stories from ex volunteers help, not forgetting my co-volunteers, who are going through the same as me!
