So.... Im feeling even more excited now that Ive had my training day in London yesterday which was really informative.
Met some fellow volunteers on my trip to Agape but also some people that will be going after me.
Everyone was really lovely, sharing their fundrasing ideas and just a little about themselves.
Im feeling pretty motivated now for some more fundraising within my university which I hope to get started on after this Easter break.
