I am currently half way
through my exams and, thus, thought it would be a good idea to write a little
update about my preparations for my time in Ghana! I must admit my head has not
really been with my revision, but rather already in Ghana… we will see how that
is reflected in my exam results when it is time for those…
The article about my Bake
Sale is now out in the Parish Magazine issue for this month
and looks great! I
have also already received many great cake recipes and ideas from my
supporters. So thank you to everyone who has done that and if you have not done
it yet, but have a great idea for an easy to make and delicious cake then
please do send me the recipe! Posters have also been prepared and are ready to
hang up around Shere :)

I am also hoping to go
to a car boot sale and sell some of my old things to raise money for the Global
Giving partner projects in Ghana. I have already gone through my cupboard and
established which things I really do not use. In addition, I have asked my
friends and family to contribute any things that they do not need anymore and
that I could sell on the day. I am sure all of us have a pair of shoes or a bag
that we thought was nice at the time we bought it, but have never actually
used, or now no longer fits our

personal style. All money made at the sale will
go as a donation to Global Giving. One of my friends (Haoqing) has surprised
me, as she has already been able sell her skateboard in aid of Global Giving,
which I am delighted about! So if you have anything that you think I could sell
on the day, I would appreciate if you could let me know by e-mail (at helen.denyer@arcor.de)
and we will arrange for me or someone else to come and collect the things!

I am already more than halfway to my target of £400! Thank you so much for all
your help and support for this great cause!
