Fund-raising Plans

hope you’re as excited about fund-raising as we are! We’ve been having a fabulous time so far. We began fund-raising in November 2007. We’ve done carol singing, bag packing, a bread and cheese lunch, bag-packing, an auction and slave auction, some more bag-packing, door-to-door collections, street collections, a sale and even some more bag-packing. We love Iceland, (the shop, although I’m sure the country is great as well) and ASDA and Tesco and Marksies, but the key question is "What’s coming up?"

On the 23rd of April there is a girly night of some variety. Like most good blogs I am very male so I have no idea what that entails.

However, on the following week the 30th of April (it’s a Wednesday) there will be a 5-a-side football competition at UUJ. Make sure you get involved. I see a tumultuous battle ensuing!

Not sure what else to get up to? Well we’re street collecting and bag packing in Larne, Carrickfergus, Whiteabbey and Belfast. Check us out in our snazzy white tee-shirts.

Most of all you want to know how we’re getting on, well we need to raise a minimum of £31,500. That’s because it takes at least £1500 for each of us to go and we want to take things with us. Check out the lovely home made barometer thingummy on the pics page for progress. Cool eh! I know you’re jealous.

Hi everyone good to see you all looking stunning in your Indian dress and to see you working with the childen at the orphanage. Write down all that you see and feel - if you do it you will be glad you did it and you can tell us lots of stories when you get back. Hope you all continue to keep well. Big hug to Beth and Davy. Did you read the Ballyclare news that Valentinos has had to close down as all their staff are in India - the service was not up to usual standard last weekend!
Blessing from Bethie's mum and dad and Davy's in-laws - scary!!!
