So...
Bags are packed (well nearly), and only the little last minute jobs to be done before heading to Sri Lanka.I decided to be super organised and set up this blog as an efficient method of keeping up with anyone who wants to be kept up to date with my adventure! Particularly for those who kindly donated to my various fundraising attempts in order to get me there. Hopefully you'll be able to witness the positive consequences of your kind donations. I hope my terrible texting and typing, frequently pointed out to me by friends, won't prove burdensome. Apologies in advance!
After 2 clothes swaps, a bit of M&S bag packing and kind donations from family, friends, church family and Felixstowe Rotary Club I managed to just about hit my target of £750 covering project costs. I have been totally overwhelmed by everyone's generosity particularly as I had such a short amount of time to get the money together and the added complication of being split between Felixstowe and Exeter. So thank you all very much.
Tomorrow the adventure begins. I'll be heading to the airport suitcase packed full (though I did promise Dad i'd TRY and pack light) along with every medical supply my mother could lay her hands on inc tea tree oil wipes for my feet and sunglasses cleaner (whoever said there is such a thing as over prepared...)
