Trip explaination and pre-trip fundraising

Hello!

On 13th October 2013 I will be embarking on what looks to be an epic African East Coast adventure! I'm travelling through three different countries, volunteering for a month in each, getting to know their way of life and cultural differences. Staring in Malawi, I'm staying for the first month in Domasi, just outside of Zomba, Southern Malawi. Here I'll be working in the Domasi community helping to teach children, cook, clean, build etc. After a month here I'll be starting the long trek up to Iringa, Southern Tanzania, which I hope to get to around 8th December. Here I'll be working in a local orphanage as well as teaching local children English and netball. After a month here, around the beginning on January I'll make my way up to Mount Kilimanjaro to climb to the summit on the Macheme route in 6 days and nights. I'll then be travelling along the Eastern side of Tanzania to Dar Es Salaam onto Zanzibar and back up to Tanga before crossing the border into Mombasa, Kenya. My work in Mombasa will involve teaching English and playing games with the local boys in the Mombasa slums. After doing so I'll go up and down the East coast before venturing into Central Kenya and departing Nairobi mid-March 2014.

A 5 month trip easily condensed for you!

Fundraising:

I'm paying for the whole trip myself, however since my current place of work (Croma restaurant, Odeon UCI Cinemas) is in partnership with the NSPCC I thought a brilliant way to raise money for the charity would be through my Kilimanjaro climb.
Odeon has a £2000 target, and thus far through Mud runs, O2 climbs and bucket collections they have raised around £800. Just yesterday I did a boot fair in aid of the NSPCC and through my rusty selling techniques I managed to gain just under £70.

Not bad for a first try!

I'll be trying to do boot fairs around the Tonbridge, West Malling and Tunbridge Wells area EVERY WEEKEND. This is dependant on stock and my being here (for example I'm in Munich next weekend)! If you have ANYTHING at all you can give please get in contact with me as it does run out quite fast (as I realised yesterday!).

Today I also start writing letters to the Marden Business Forum and other local business' in a plea for help with sponsorship in return for marketing at my events, during my climb and possibly at the Tonbridge Half Marathon.
In relation to that, a MASSIVE THANK YOU to Spice in Cranbrook for donating beautiful things for the boot sale, they sold really well and made a HUGE difference to the amount we raise. Check them out, they are a beautiful small shop selling bags, shoes, jewellery, tights, bath bits and other gorgeous home bits and bobs (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Spice/58528613277) (look above)
