My Story

So, Its February 2012 and I am leaving for World Challenge in July 2013, approximately 17 months. 
Question: Am I ready? Answer: No!

As soon as I heard about World Challenge, I knew that I wanted to take part. What an amazing experience?! I am aware that this is going to be extremely hard, I have been warned by a few people who have been on World Challenge before but there is no way I will get this opportunity again so why miss it, right?

There are plenty of things I need to think about: 

  • Fundraising: 
I must have forgot to mention that World Challenge is NOT a holiday, I have to raise £3500 to go (which doesn't include my fun activities while I'm out there or camp equipment). So I have to think of many fundraising ideas to raise the money! So far I have thought of the simple basics:
  • bag packing
  • babysitting
  • cake sales
  • discos
 So fund-raising ideas would be very much appreciated! Please and thankyou's! 

  • Commitment:
Signing myself up for World Challenge is one thing, but actually going through with it is a whole different story! To raise the £3500, I have made a target to raise at least £100 a month to make it easier in the long run. 
I am also saving up every £2 coin I get and put it in a piggy bank! At the end of every month I will put that collection into my bank.


Its going to be hard work, but I will do it! Im looking forward to keeping you all posted,

love

  1. Hey there,

    I'm an ex-world challenger and in December 2011, I travelled to Borneo, Malaysia. I just thought I'd pipe in a comment and just tell you how wonderful the experience is! It's very tough, challenging and fustrating but I guarantee you will be positively changed as a person. I've picked up so many life skills and many friends and experiences. To see you do what you are doing now is sensational and I'm so Happy you and your World Challenge group get to experience this amazing journey!
