Zambia - we're coming!

Finally finished my packing - hoping I've remembered everything from Mrs Bentley's list! My checklist has been furiously ticked and double checked and the excitement is beginning to kick in! After months of talking, bag packing, cake selling and so forth it is finally here! While I have some idea (mainly based on tales of last year) of what to expect, I am slightly apprehensive - I feel that I'm quite possibly on the brink of a life changing experience! Look forward to seeing all of Team Zambia tomorrow!

Pre-journey Prep

After weeks of anticipation and excitement I'm glad to say I am fully packed and have bought lots of goodies for the pupils at Greater Joy. I cannot wait to meet them all (although I can wait for the hours of travelling that are looming closer!) Looking forward to seeing the rest of the Zambia team tomorrow:)

3 DAYS

Everyone has been counting down the days for so long and now we only have 3 more until we go to Zambia! It's gone so fast!! Exciting times!

Hat horror

This wasn't quite what I had in mind when I asked my parents to order me a hat for Zambia...but nevertheless, the fuchsia-coloured sombrero is very much appreciated and I'm sure would compliment every outfit wonderfully *cough cough*- such a shame it doesn't fit in my bag haha :D 

3 days to go!!

"This time next week..."

Injections are done, suitcase is at the ready and the day has almost arrived. It is unbelievable that we will be in Zambia "this time next week" as I keep saying to my family - hence the title of this post! I cannot wait to experience a different culture and meet lots of new faces, as well as share this time with such great friends. I can already tell that this is going to be one of the best trips I have been on in my life!!

4 days to go...

We have 4 days until Zambia 2014 gets underway and it's scary how quickly it's come around! It's such a great feeling knowing we're only a few days away from seeing our hard work and fundraising over the past year actually make a difference! We've been packing for what seems like the last year (Rhi's bought Morrison's entire cereal bar aisle and learnt to French plait hair in preparation😂).  Soph seems to have bought every colouring book you can get! As we're both about to be room buddies, I guess you can say we're a tiny bit excited about the trip. Just a tiny bit! Reading the blogs from last year has got us slightly nervous, but we are mostly just looking forward to the amazing adventure we are about to embark on (as well as hoping our welcome home banner is as good as last years!)

 4 days and counting... WOOO.

5 days 6 hours 50 minutes...

Counting down the hours now until we leave for Zambia and I think to say we're excited is a huge understatement. 

On the train home with Georgia equipped with an strong army of shopping bags full of stickers, balls, maracas, balloons and so so much more. 

Last few preparations to make before the challenging task of packing our army into our suitcase begins haha. Wish us luck! 

5 days to go.
