So of our £10,896 total we have so far raised over £3,500! I am sure you are all wondering how we have achieved a third of our target so far, so i will try to let you know....
We, the Malawi Kachimbeka team do love a good bake sale and have held several outside Edinburgh University Library since our fund-raising events began. With the quality of the cakes produced increasing with each sale and generous sugary donations from family and friends (notably Ben's sisters..) we have averaged around £100 each time for our efforts.
Next came the paperclip exercise. The aim of the game was to, in competing teams, begin with a paper-clip and swap it for an item of higher value and by the end of the day see which team had the highest value item. One man eventually ended up with a house! unfortunately this man was not in our team. Taking advantage of the German Market and the festive spirit seeming to increase everyone's generosity, we did complete several successful swaps...
To be continued....
