Hayley and I have been given the opportunity to go to Outward Bound to do the Leaps & Bounds course.
Nationwide
We have been lucky to have been given a place at Outward Bound in the Leaps & Bounds course.
This course is amazing as it involves a lot of teamwork helping each other with other parents/teens to do the things you don't think you can do.
Since the Christchurch earthquakes our family don't have the oomph anymore to do anything, spend the weekends at home rather than going out and doing something, anything. Sitting around the home on tablets when they should be outside.
Something needed to be done. Getting into this course is amazing and we will certainly make the most of it. Hopefully bring home some ideas and lots of energy to get things rolling again.
We have geen lucky enough to get a Scholarship for mum but need help getting Hayley's fee so we are asking for support from anyone who is willing to give a little.
As well as this we will be doing lots of fundraising ourselves. The things we have planned are:-
Sausage Sizzles
Market stalls
Car washing
Gardening
Baking cookies/muffins to sell in schools
and lots of other ideas we have seen and been given by friends.
So please help us to be able to take this amazing journey and bring us home fresh and revived to really get the motivation back in our lives.
Many thanks
Hayley & Mum
Ex Outward Bound helps out! 14 November 2014
We took our table and chair down to New Brighton when the market was on and took our scratchy cards for people to donate and a guy came up and started talking about Outward Bound - guess what - he had been on Outward Bound. Was great talking to him about how he enjoyed it, how hard it was and what he got out of it. I know we will learn a lot about this awesome adventure.
Thank you so much Hilary - really do appreciate this so much.
