Fundraising

Well, we didn't have six visitors staying overnight, we had ..... seven. Another five went to A's home. Everyone had either a bed or a camping mat on the floor and they were a delightful bunch of young people. They all bonded so quickly, even though some had not met before and #1 was the link. They were all part of the teams he had worked with last summer in Africa.

The fundraising from the event last night is going to the two projects he worked with : Swahiba Youth Networks in Kenya and Kids Club Kampala in Uganda.

Today was spent clearing the decks and then all having lunch together before they went on their journeys back to London, Plymouth, Bristol, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Leeds, Birmingham, Preston, Exeter.

Several of them are planning to return to these projects this summer - it's great to see young people making a difference.

Later edit - just backblipped last night. Click on the link above.
