I am hoping to take part in an organised school trip to Malaysia in October 2019. The aim of the trip is to help with the conservation of baby turtles there.

It is February now and in a few days I will be 14. To raise funds so far I have done 2 car boot sales, I have sold DVDs, CDs and books to an online website, sold things on Ebay, delivered leaflets asking for odd jobs in my area, I have done car washing and a Sweetie and cake sale at school. There are more things planned for the next few months including an Easter Sale, Cake sale and name the Teddy.

I have given all my forms in for the trip and have paid the deposit with my own savings. Including what I made today at the Car Boot sale - where it was freezing! - so far I have raised £505.

We have had a meeting at school and talked about different ways to raise funds, someone suggested helping the school dinner ladies wash the dishes - but I said I had to draw the line somewhere!

if any one has any idea's on how to raise funds or if you need your car cleaning please get in touch. (no dishes though... :) )

Will update again soon. the pic is me and my friend Ela.

Thanks for reading.
