First off i'd like to thank everyone that donated before, during and even after my fund raiser event, a grand total of around £1400 was raised, i'm saying around cos i'm still being donated money from people i bump into.

So a masssssssive thank you to everyone.


I went a bought myself a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T200 (off a bloke with a 80s E24 M6 <3) so i can leave the DSLR and take this everywhere with me, and that'll be a 'Sorry i went away so long' pressent for my mum when i'm back.

I arrive in South Africa on Thursday (7th) and once i'm there will be getting in touch with the Charity and they'll start dishing out the Jobs.

Thanks again to everyone.

Lewis


PS, i'd also like to add that every single penny i raised will be spent on things like: Pens, paper, paint, brushes, wood, screws, textbooks, and other supplies.

None of it is going on my flight/food/accommodation/car hire/petrol.


Oh and also, if you click the pictures, they get bigger

Happy Birthday Nelson Mandela

Following up from the post about those people coming to feed the kids, well they turned up.

Brought with them crazy amounts of Chicken Byrannai and juice, they also bought along speakers and put on a mini party, it was quite a day, all the kids looked very happy and a great start for their new term.

We've also finished the ceiling with only a few minor touch ups to finish tomorrow.

Ohh and they also agreed to donate 100,000 Rand about £9,000 to the school :D
Well mainly to the room that we were doing up already (although that money will take our work a lot lot further) the only condition is that there has to be a 'Sponsored by ........' above the door, but i think everyone will be able to live with that, the room with be turned into a proper choir room, with a mini stage, part of the idea being that CD's can be sold to raise more money for the school, basically creating on going income.

 Me and David
 Action shot lol
