Hey, Africa!: Fundraising

In order for me to be able to go away for the year with Project Trust, I had to raise the funds to see me through the year, accommodation, food, travel etc. The amount that I was asked to raise was £5,100! The prospect of all that money terrified me, how on earth was I going to do it in 8 months?
The answer was with a lot of help from my amazing friends and family, especially my Mum. She has been amazing helping me through all the fundraising events, and worked really hard baking, sewing and just generally being helpful and creative! I love her so much and I can never say thank you enough for everything she has done for me.

So here's a little (well, more like long) list of everything I have been up to in the past few months to raise enough money for my Swaziland trip!
