I am so excited, i have 6 days until i go to Uganda.....countdown!
Saturday was my auction on promises fundraising event at my church.
I sold tickets for £10 and over 60 people came!
It ws such a great evening and people have been so kind and generous!
The evening went something like this:
7pm....arrival, drinks and buying and viewing homemade produce
(cards, cakes and candles etc) that people have donated
7.45pm....meal time, a sit down meal in the church. Very tasty (thanks mum) and well nice gateux for desert. I had some amazing friends help serve and welcome that evening!
It was quality!
8.20ish pm....Smile International gap year DVD and my presentation about the work i will be doing in Africa
8.45pm....auction begins! (50 x promises that people have promised - e.g. 4 weeks worth of iring, babysitting, dog walking, hair cuts, a beautiful photo framed etc)
9.10pm....interval...coffe and tea (and mints)
9.25pm....back to the auction
9.45ish pm....thankyou and count....then bye's
Thanks so many awesome friends and some genorosity and laughs, we were able to raise £1664 on the auction alone and around £600-£700 ish on tickets (still being counted)
I can't thank people enough for being such good friends, for the support and encouragement!
