I am over the moon that the English Speaking Union Exeter Branch have supported my volunteering and given an educational award of £400 towards my fundraising for teaching in India. I look forward to sharing my stories, photographs and memories with them whilst I'm away and look forward to meeting the members once I return home.

Seaton Town Hall Carnival Bank Holiday Weekend!
On Saturday 23rd August both my Granny Emmie and Granny Betty and Ted had a stall at the table top sale at Seaton Town Hall. As it was the carnival weekend the hall was rather busy and although I was working, I was kept up to date and heard that they had a good morning and good fun selling items on the stalls; and not only selling but also receiving kind donations and spreading the word about my fundraising and Project Trust.
From the sale and the hard work from my Grans and Grandad they raised another £130 towards our fundraising total. I cannot thank them enough for their persistent hard work and dedication towards our fundraising and also to those who donate things to sell.

Curry Night Sixth Form Party
I was unsure whether to make this post a gallery or a write up of the evening, but I think the photos tell more of a story than a few sentences.
However there is one thing I would like to say, and that is simply - THANKYOU!
£345 was donated.
I was overwhelmed by the donations so generously given by all, and especially from those who donated four times the amount! I hope everyone had a fab evening and were happy with results!
Lastly... thank you for not trashing the house and being extremely respectful of the place (even if a couple of bulbs went out, (not mentioning any names!..). I don't think it could have gone any smoother!

Mahavir Trust Support
I am also very thankful and appreciative of the £75 donation from the Mahavir Trust.
Lions Club Support!
I am really grateful and incredibly lucky to have received the support of the Seaton Lions Club. After writing to the Seaton Lions Club and receiving a reply I was invited to give a talk about Project Trust and the things I would be doing in India as part of the Project.
After meeting the members I was given a £500 donation cheque towards helping me reach my fundraising goal. The link for the article and to read about the other brilliant things the Lions Club do to support the community can be found below.

A teeny weenie table top and some more donations!
Colyford Hall Sunday 27th July - I would like to thank my Granny Emmie for her morning spent at the table top sale, all of which gathered £15 in donations, of which I am very grateful for.
Sales of goods donated - Thanks to Granny Betty and Ted and everyone who has donated second hand goods; from advertising in the paper and selling the items we have been able to raise £151.
Thank you to everyone who supported us, and are continuing to donate items to be sold on.
On a separate occasion family friends have also bought goods taken from Granny Betty and Teds table top sales totalling another £127!
Once again, thank you for everyone's unbelievable support!

To the Library we go!
This month, in early August, both my Granny Emmie and Tom joined me as we headed to Exeter Library to seek out the Directorate of Grant Making Trusts Book to enable us to find charities to write to that were willing to help support us in reaching our fundraising goal, and to share my volunteering journey with now and in the future after my return.
Of course... we had to take a coffee break at the Boston Tea Party before... then off we headed for the next 4 hours of (nearly) silence!
