South Africa

This has been taken from a forum I visit regually:

Since January I have had another pay raise at work which is very nice! Hehe! I also got a bonus in March which I wasn’t expecting! I have also been appointed as the first aider at work so I receive an extra £5 a month – which isn’t much but every little helps!I have done a tombola and guess the name of the teddy! Was quite successful, raising £50, it also promoted what I was doing and had various donations mounting to the total of roughly £150! Not bad for a weekend!

I run a kids club in my church and when one of the parents found out what I was doing they gave me £40! My school is now aware of whats happening and they are supporting me, I was allowed to do a sponsored silence in school, it was so hard! But I did it and raised another £200! My leaflet and posters are now going to be put on the staff notice board to ask them for baby clothes and other things to take with me!

One of the most amazing but slightly freaky thing happened just before I went to spring harvest! I went across the road to visit a friend and when I came back my mum told me a letter had come through the door, it wasn’t sent to me cus there was no address. Just my full name! I opened it and inside was £60 with a note saying: “This is a little something for your trip!” There was no name or nothing. I was shaking cus it was quite odd really! My mum told me she heard it come through, seconds later she opened the door and there was no one there! Ran down the road but I couldn’t see anyone!

The other night a man gave me £100 towards my trip! My church have given me some money and people have been sponsoring me and supporting what I’m doing!
