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

Back Home


The trip is all over, and after two long boring flights, 3 breakfasts, many G&T's (Even getting ID'd for one of them :( and enjoying duty free, i'm back at home.

Big thanks again to everyone thats helped out, couldnt've done it without you.

Heres some pics to sum up the last few days


First off, the library:




 These where the book shelf dividers we made
 The curtains we put up
 Sorting out their books
Fitting the rails

These where items for the Hill crest Aids Charity Trust, they have like a wish list of items they need, so we got them:
20x Bars of soap
10x Hand wash
20x Tooth Brushes
20x Tooth Paste
Lots of loo roll
Some board games
15x air freshners
and some other bits i've forgotten



These where for inchanga Pre-School, was built by Steve and a team he works with, but they had no black boards, so after a trip to the stationers, and CamJet (the company owned by the family we stayed with) we loaded 4x 3mx1.2m magnetic green chalk board onto the top of the bucky and drove to put them up, also as they have no power, we needed to hire a generator, getting one in the back of an i10 was eventful to say the least








This is the Orphange Steve lives and works at, we bought them a few things from a sports shop, 2x Cricket sets (not the one pictured, as the bat they had was just a bit of wood) some balls, and a mini trampoline, we dropped them with dave, who will take them to the orphanage, will get him to take some piccys. Also steve had a building project in mind for the place, so i bought him the materials he needs, was something like 200 breeze blocks, bags of cement etc





And thats about it for updates, will post the pics when i get them form Dave
