Diving with Sharks... Only for the brave!

At the end of February one of our (extremely brave) sponsors and a good friend of mine, Fae Vincent, will be doing a shark dive to raise money for Milele! Fae Vincent

She is braving cold water in Edinburgh sea life centre and jumping in with over 60 different species of shark, including one in particular which is pretty dangerous in the wild... you certainly wouldn't want to bump into one of those on a dark night!

Fae visited Mtwapa herself with me on my very first ever trip back in 2007, where she volunteered at Mtwapa Academy, worked to distribute lots of toys and to help lots of children. She has had a really close link with the children out there ever since and now also sponsors one of our own children, little Saidi. On top of all this Fae is keen to do more to help children in Kenya and is now doing a shark dive to raise some money.

Fae has a target to reach of £450... if we can reach this figure then Milele will receive an additional £155 donation! So we are really working hard to hit this target! If you are reading this and you would like to dig deep and support Fae in her plans then you can donate now!

Blackpool to Brighton on a Bike... Update 4

Hi All, So we have some amazing news, a lovely hotelier from Blackpool has offered to provide a hotel room for the night before the massive 300 mile cycle! Ashcroft Bed and Breakfast have been so amazing and provided us a room for the night. If you happen to be going to Blackpool anytime soon, please check them out.

We would like to say a really big thank you to all at Ashcroft for their generosity!

UPDATE:

We have now been offered a hotel room for the 1st night of our trip! The Queens Head Hotel in Congleton have been so amazing and we now have all of the rooms sorted for the whole trip! Now just the small challenge of the cycle to tackle now!
