Unfortunately I didn't manage to reach my financial target of £5,400 despite my efforts and very kind donations from so many people! However...my dad phoned Project Trust this morning to pay the remaining balance and we discovered that he had to pay a LOT less than we had both expected. Turns out I managed to raise £4,700 in just 8 months, which I am super chuffed about!
Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me and donated towards my adventure, I have been amazed at the kindness of the people around me! This experience has taught me that there are a lot of important people in my life, and has sifted out those who didn't really want to be there, so ever for that I am grateful!
Probably won't get the chance to update the blog before we fly on friday morning...so i guess I'll see you on the other side.... Aaaaaaaaah!

Oh the places you'll go!
As a leaving gift, the children I look after gave me the Dr. Seuss book 'Oh the Places you'll Go' and it's truly brilliant!
Its ridiculous how apt a children's book can be to how I'm feeling right now! It's full of motivational lines and it's just beautiful! Anyone thinking of travelling EVER, should definitely read it, or find a child to read it too, and inspire them to go off into the big wide world!

Training Week
So I've just returned from my extremely tiring training week on the Isle of Coll, and the flights are less than a month away now, which is slightly daunting!
On the plus (x1000) side, I finally met my partner and all the other Honduras volunteers. Miss Kate Adams will be living with me in La Union, and she will be my adoptive sister (as her name is the same as my older sisters) for the duration of the year! Project have done an amazing job of pairing the two of us together and I can't wait to have a year of adventures with 'our Kate'!!
I've made some brilliant friends this week, they are placed all over Honduras, which means when we have a weekend off or a few weeks holiday we have plenty of people to go an visit, which is all very exciting!
Me and our Kate! The Welsh one and the Irish one, both as childish as each other and as excited as can be for our wee adventure!
