Hi everyone!
Yesterday I headed up to the reference library with my friend Kirsty, who will also be taking a year out with project trust, and together we researched trusts. For those of you who don't know, charitable trusts are bodies that are set up to give out money to worthy causes. The average volunteer gets about £1,000 from trusts, so I really wanted to make good use of them. We got the names of about 50 trusts we're eligible for, so not a bad afternoon!
I also planned out my fundraising ideas, I don't want to give away too much, but a ceilidh, carol singing, and of course a lot of bake sales are planned! Today I am also going to be writing to supermarkets about bag packing, and I will be designing my leaflet which will tell people about what I'm doing (I'll try and upload a copy to the blog when it's done). I also got my first online donation today, so a big thank you to Claire!
However, the big news for today is my new "Buy a day in Honduras" idea. What happens is you pick a day, week or month of the year that is special to you. You could pick your birthday, anniversary or you might wonder what Christmas, Hogmanay or the holidays are like in Honduras. In return, I'll send you a postcard when I'm in Honduras, on your day, week or month, telling you what I get up to. A day can be bought for £15, a week for £90 or a month for £350. To pick your day, click here, donate the amount and simply write the date you want in the comments box. For more information have a look in the side bar.
That's it for now, and I'd like to thank you for your ongoing support.
