I said that I would update you all once I had been to the meeting in Milton Keynes last weekend.
It was a really good day, and I feel slightly more relaxed about it all now I have met the people I am going with.
We have three main projects that we are going to do when we are In the village. We are going to build a children's playground, and renovate the kitchen and kitchen garden. As well as other general, upkeeping jobs.
The total money raised from our Open Garden the other weekend has reached £550, which is amazing! People in Milton Keynes have also been raising a lot of money and in total we have about £3000 to take out and do all the work planned!
As it has just gone midnight, it now means that I leave for Paraguay in 5 days! I have to get from Birmingham to Heathrow, then it is an 11 hour flight to Brazil, about 3 or 4 hours wait at Sao Paulo, then another flight to Asuncion in Paraguay, where we stop over night, and then a 3 or 4 hour drive to the village. So it will be a long and tiring journey, but it is going to be SO worth it!
The title of this post is one of my favorite quotes and was said by Bono - thought I would get it in there after watching U2 on the tv at Glastonbury earlier!
Hopefully I will see as many of you as possible over the next few days, but if not - have a great summer!
