I have organised my plan to raise the money and started my WEB site.
My first interview was with the Managing Director of Pabulum, a catering company,which was very useful.
My first batch of Rocky Roads all sold - so I am on my way!

I am preparing for the  Dragon's Den. I have to make a presentation this Thursday to the Fleet and Hart Lions.  I am nervous but it will be a good event.

I have completed the Dragon's Den!  It was nerve-racking but it was a good event, I thoroughly enjoyed it.  My presentation went smoothly and to time.  The Dragons seemed impressed. I will know in a month how well I did.

A planning day for the expedition took place at school for last Sunday.  We did some team building activities, in which we were victorious against year 8.

My Grandma and Grandad left for Boston this morning with some Rocky Roads.  Which now means that I am in the exporting business!

Brilliant news! The Hart Lions generously donated £100 towards my expedition and the Fleet Lions also donated £150! This means I am almost half way to raising the money!!

I have written and sent my letters to businesses and entrepreneurs. I will update my blog as soon as their responses arrive.

Wow, I have already had a reply from James Caan!

October 2010

I went on a training weekend to the Brecon Beacons.  I was first to the top of the mountain during our 17km hike - carrying a full pack. When I returned I told Mum that it was "The best weekend ever!"

On the 25th I was invited to meet HH Princess Lalla Joumala Alaoui, Moroccan Ambassador to Britain - see details on previous page.  

January 2011

I have great news.  HH Princess Lalla Joumala Alaoui gave a very generous contribution towards my fund raising, which means I have raised all the money that I need.  

Thank you for all the support you have given me.


March 2011

Our plans have been finalised!  Only a month to go.
The community work is at the village school of Iminwarg, which is located in a very isolated region in the Atlas Mountains. We are going to build a new gate and door to protect the school. Then we meet with their trekking guide for our trek in the mountains near the village. We will be navigating, cooking all of our meals and camping out under the starry skies of the Atlas Mountains.
I have raised extra funds and so hope to take some sports equipment for the school in Iminwarg.

I have been on the expedition and thoroughly enjoyed it. On my return there are so many stories and interesting pictures that I have set up a new page.  You can see them on my Report page.
