As part of their preparation for the Pilgrimage the young people have been asked to raise at least £500, this represents approximately half the cost of the flight/transport/accomodation/food per person.
To date the young people (Pilgrims) have come up with some creative ways of raising the money from sponsored activities through to making and selling music CD's. In between we've had car washing, cream teas, table top sales, car boots (a lot of bedroom clearing has gone on!), filling in hippopotamus outlines with silver coins, grant applications and begging letters. And it all seems to be working. Any surplus money, once costs have been covered, will be used to take gifts to the people we will be with and for many the most practical thing we can offer is food, which we will be buying out there.
So to the Pilgrims, keep going you're doing really well and to those who are supporting them - be generous!!
