Date change!

There has been a change of date for my 10K Run!

 The event organisers have postponed the race for a week due to other events happening around the Olympic Park. 
Therefore the new date for the run is now Saturday 1st July 2017 - at least it gives me another week of training! (28 days to go!!)

 Thank you for your continued support, hopefully we can reach to the halfway point in my fundraising in the next few weeks.

Day 3 - Tuesday 15th August 2017

The morning started with a bright and early wake up at 7:00am to prepare ourselves for the Children's Camp. Breakfast consisted of chopped banana and strawberry yoghurt, with a slice of toast for extra energy.  We then took all of the equipment down to the School House and prepared little parcels for the children when they arrived. The parcels included a team colour hat, a flannel, soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, nail clippers, lotion, hand sanitiser and a very cute octopus knitted by a friend of Brenda's who donated them to Hands Then the wait for the children started - they were meant to arrive at 11:00am however, as we were reminded we are now working on 'Africa Time' and the turned up to the farm at 14:00! All the children that are coming to camp are from the community of Maposa - the community that The Forge church are partnered with. Once they arrived, lunch was prepared for us all, however they had already had lunch back at the community care point! However, as i...

Days 1&2

It's time to go, Zambia awaits!! After Mum and Dad dropped me at Heathrow, I met the rest of the team and we checked ourselves in. After dropping off all our bags and passing through security, we went for a quick meal before we were due to board. Our gate was open and we went to our plane! Our first flight was a 7.5 hour trip to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia which felt a lot longer! We then had a 4 hour wait - of which most of us caught some shut eye before our next flight. We then boarded the next plane, in which we had to stop for 1 hour in the Congo and then took the last bit of the flight to Ndola, Zambia when we touched down at 14:30 local time today!  After collecting our luggage, through a rather interesting system in the Zambian airport, we were collected by the Hands at Work team from The Farm. On arrival we were greeted with so many smiling faces and they offered us the warmest of welcomes. Our luggage was unpacked and we made ourselves at home, especially after sorting throu...

Day 11 - Wednesday 23rd August 2017

We started off this morning with a group devotional time in which we as a team spent time talking about our sacrifices in life are, particularly our sacrificial giving to God, and our trust in the Lord. It was a great way to get to know each other better and go deeper into some of the more difficult situations we have been in and a chance to share these moments with others.  We then headed out into the community for our third day in Maposa. Once again the children met us with beaming smiles and some even ran with the bus as we were coming down the lane to the Care Point. We played games with the children for a short time and then gathered with the Care Workers in the church for worship and Relationship Group. A Relationship Group happens within every community in which there is a Care Point. It gives the Care Workers time for them to share their stories, their struggles and a time for them to share fellowship together. It is important to remember that these Care Workers are the ...
