I have arrived!!!

hello everyone i have arrived safe, fallen in love with the place and saw my beloved lemurs so am a happy bunny! unfortunately the internet is sooooo slow here, and it has taken me over an hour to upload just a few pics, but here are a few of the journey through Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta airport, the flight over Kilimanjaro, the gecko that greeted me in my room the first night, and the amazing lemurs1 One even stuck his head in my bag to  get my bananas - so intelligent!!! there is a pic of the camp communal hut where we eat and have lessons on the other amazing projects Azafady are doing here, but a,m in shock at the lack of infrastructure, far worse than i imagined, and there is so much to be done. even tho the camp is basic, it is luxury compared to how people live here, so i am grateful for running water and a toilet. On Thursday we head out on a bumpy " hour lorry drive to the Mahatalaky school construction site, where there will be no running water and long drop toilets, but after a week learning, packing compost bags and drinking madagascan rum, ill be happy to get to work!! So see you all in a few weeks!!! x x x

1 DAY UNTIL LIFT OFF - I DID IT THANKS TO YOU!!!!

Thank you to every single one of you who has donated and has helped me towards my dream of going to Madagascar! The fundraising smashed my target, and the "zorbing" event was absolutely mental! On the day of the giant ball rolling activities it was so windy up in New Farnley, we were terrified, and the ball bounced down the hill - the guys who worked there said they could hear us screaming all the way down! What a worthwhile thing to do though. I am leaving tomorrow on my Air Kenya flight, and can't wait to fill you all in on the next part of the adventure. The lucky winner of Lemmy the knitted lemur will be announced in the next few days and my mum will send the lemur once we have your details!! Every penny donated will go to an amazing cause, and help improve the lives of some of the poorest people in the world. Love you all!! Look at these photos of the zorbing for the before (happy), middle (rolling), and after - dazed and confused, about to fall over!!!
