The level of posting definitely in increases when I am meant to be revising!

Well yesterday me and Rachel completed a First Aid awareness course for overseas expedition. We are now absolute pros at the recovery position! We also covered cuts, fractures, burns, cpr and snake bites. Seriously hope we don't encounter this little fellow-

The black mamba can kill in under an hour and considering the only hospital stocking the anti-venom in Malawi is in Mzuzu, lets hope we avoid him!

After receiving our kit list on Tuesday and due to being unable to sleep I did a rather large internet shop and pretty much ticked most the list including, Malaria tablets, gardening gloves, memory cards, disposable cameras, ticket to heathrow, after sun, sun cream, mosquito repellent this list could go on and on.......In typical style i hit eBay and Asda, definetly the best prices!

Today has been a pretty successful day for our total with an £100 donation from one of last years volunteers and £630 from Ross's aunties coffee morning. This bring our total to £8299.60 and only £2597 left to go! Roll on the bag pack tomorrow!

Well doesn't time just fly when your having fun! it's been a far too long 5 weeks since I last did a post, i will try my best to fill you in on whats been happening.

Back in March we had Rachel's pub quiz raising £154.80 and the Olympics Night raising £65.29. On the 29th March myself, Dave, Leonie, Frani and Ross completed the long drive North to Fort William, and that was before tackling Britain's highest mountain! Ben Nevis stands 1,344m above sea level and the rather large hill was conquered by all. As you can see, some spectacular views on the way up and from the top!

At the beginning of April we held a Lazy Lounge night raising £226.72 and another bake sale bought in £51.90. the weekend of 7th/8th of April also saw the Malawi:Kachimbeka team hit the streets of Edinburgh for some bucket collecting, bringing in another £300 towards our total!

So the current total raised stands at a mighty £7301.63, 67% of our target! This Saturday we have a backpack at the local Asda which should hopefully bring in a few hundred!

Last night we had our Pre-Departure Training session and it is all starting to feel very real! First Aid Training tomorrow and just 65 days till departure!

Just keep giving!
