D (Departure) Day -50
Not only am I having to cope with a ridiculous amount of organisation for home, work and travel, I'm pushing my very limited technical skills well beyond my comfort zone of reading emails and buying stuff on Amazon (only 2 more packages to come, I think). Hopefully this blog will work and do what I want it to do - stuff, whatever it is supposed to do.
The details of my trip are as follows:
8 Jan - 7 March - working as a teaching assistant in a school for orphans in Livingstone, Zambia
9 March - 6 April - working as a volunteer at Antelope Park, Zimbabwe which has a specific programme for releasing lions back into the wild - see the link for more details
7 May - 30 July - working on a reserve in the Drakensberg range in South Africa, learning conservation skills, looking after the reserve's horses and going out on horse safaris.
After that I'm going to go travelling in Botswana and Namibia for a few weeks (or until the money runs out), which should be bring me back to Auld Reekie for a wash and a haircut in late summer/early autumn.
I'm trying to collect donations for the school and they've sent me a list of things that they need for the school and orphanage.
Schools:
Pencils & Pens, Notebooks, Chalk, Textbooks for all ages, Rulers, Compass etc, Educational posters for walls, Glue stick, Sweets
Orphanages:
Games, Tennis Balls, Footballs, Pencils & Pens, Bubbles, Balloons, Playground Games, Teenage Boy & Girls clothes, Music CD's & tapes, Sweets, Colouring books, Water Guns
If you can donate any of these items, please let me know. I'll be getting everything together and sending it out in the New Year as I need every gram of my luggage allowance for toiletries and camping gear. Mostly toiletries. Do they have Jo Malone in Africa?
