Gift Aid Donations

The trip is being organised by Verbum Dei hence I am able to receive donations to the charity through a JustGiving site. So donors who want to support this Mission can easily Gift Aid their donation.

Fundraising:- Thank you :D

Fundraising progressed very well this weekend, thanks to the generosity of many parishioners at St. Francis Maidstone.

The Raffle draw date is the 1st of May, winners will be notified by telephone.

Camera

This week I found some time to walk around my home town. Nothing much has changed. I went to the camera shop to see if I could get a camera for the trip. I was looking for a high performing compact camera that would easily fit in my pocket. I discovered that a camera with all the features I desired was too large to discretely fit into my pocket. Maybe this is an anti theft design! Anyway after tens of minutes of the sales assistant telling me that all the cameras were great I decided that I quite like one in the Sony range. After using it briefly in the shop and reading a few reviews I decided that I would wait a while before buying a camera......

The New Spring-Summer 2010 Cotswold catalogue was delivered this morning. Lots of great products, I think I might purchase a mosquito net and some mosquito fabric repellent among other things........

Over the past few days I have been doing some research into the health considerations of the trip. In particular Malaria. There is lots of conflicting advice on available on the internet. In any case a trip to the travel clink will be required, as I need a yellow fever vaccination.

Thinking in the Park

Its Easter, taking a break from my studies i find myself in the local park. Time to think about fundraising activities with my sister.
