We’re raising Money & my Trip is Booked!!


THIS WEEKENDS SAUSAGE SIZZLE

Apparently people don't go for Hardware, Garden Supplies or a Snag as much at the beginning of a heat wave!! However, we still raised a nice $180 for the feeding program which is great, and really does go a long way in Mwandi. A BIG THANKS to MITRE 10 Hallet Cove, my family and Sandra & Bevan (who have been to Mwandi 3 times now helping at the project) for their help. Despite being a lil' warm it was fun and again, so nice to be at the receiving end of people's kindness. With some left over goods I hope to do another one early next year close to the raffle draw date so look out for that update later.

ALL BOOKED READY TO GO!!

The lovely girls at EscapeTravel Marion were great in getting all my flights booked for a good price and saving me money! Highly recommend them for anyone looking to book a holiday / flights. Unfortunately due to uncertainty with work commitments next year I can only confirm my availability for 6 weeks in Zambia instead of the planned 3 months. I will just have to make sure I put in some good planning to see that my 4 weeks at the project is as constructive and rewarding as possible (Traveling the country for the last 2 weeks). Again, I'll post updates closer when I know exactly what I'm doing, but at this stage I know it will involve working with the Police, and hopefully to get support agencies working together to provide support for the project and abused kids.

RAFFLE UPDATE

I still only have about ½ all the tickets out there selling so will continue to recruit sellers to help out. We still have a few months so hopefully if more families can sell a book at the next reli-bash or Xmas Shows (that will be coming up soon) we'll get there!

Become a follower soon so you can stay informed about the Project!

Thanks,
