Fundraising

As a team, we thought of so many different ways to fundraise for our big trip! It included plenty of table top sales and bake sales all through the year, hours of bag packing during the Christmas and Easter holidays and carol singing on a cold Christmas night! We also collected money for sponsored events and used great fundraising websites like ‘easyfundraising.com’. We have worked and worked through every month to help us get closer to the final costs and the countdown is coming to an end as we are getting nearer and nearer to our trip of a lifetime!!! :D

Team Preparation Events

In preparation for our trip to Africa we have had a number of team days and two weekends away. This was to help all of us get to know each other more and help us bond. At these events we also sorted out the books we wanted to take with us and created lesson plans for them so we knew exactly what we would be doing whilst is Africa. Also we had an HIV talk at one of the weekends to help us learn more about it and to solve any questions we had. These team days have helped us all get to know each other greatly and have prepared us for our wonderful trip upcoming.
