CARAZY
Well week 14 is now over, only 2 more to go and then HOLIDAYS!! I’m going to Melbourne for 4 days which should be fun (I haven’t been there since year 8!) to meet up with some wonderful friends who went with me to Cambodia earlier this year. Aside from that my holiday project is to find a job and convert my art room into a useable room (the art room is a room underneath the house that no one really uses and it’s full of lots of junk).
Oxfam is having a big warehouse sale in Kent Town (30 north tce, in the Korean market until july 29th) and its awesome… lots of bargains. I volunteered there on Friday which was lots of fun and will be there more during the hols. They are actually looking for more volunteers so if you’ve got a couple of hours to spare on a day, let me know and I can give you more info. Definitely a good way to volunteer and help fund the work of Oxfam in promoting fair trade!
Last night Jess, Lib and I went to a foosball fundraiser which my friend, Hannah, organised to raise money for the home for Aids Orphans and Street Children that Teen Missions has set up in Zambia.
It is estimated that by 2010 there will be 40 million AIDS Orphans worldwide. 95% of these children will be living in Sub-Saharan Africa.
It would take 80,000 orphanages with 500 children at each to take care of the AIDS Orphans in Sub-Saharan Africa alone.
It was an exciting different, fun idea for a fundraiser and went really well with over $400 being raised. I wasn’t the best at foosball but I almost won the last game!
Also I must share my excitement at the recent purchase of my first car!! It’s a beautiful little manual car (lol, I can’t actually drive it because I don’t know how to drive a manual yet.) Anyway I bought it yesterday and am quite excited to learn to drive it.
NB: This is not my car, just one that looks like it
My weekly update :) Now I should get back to the assignments…
