Wow - A Bronze Medal - That's awesome!
We are having a celebration on Saturday 8th August from 5.30pm at The Coach House Cafe, Pirongia.
It would be fantastic to thank you all in person for your support and encourgement.
Please see the attachment or visit my facebook page for details.
I started a public facebook page to stay in touch while I am in Denmark. You can view this even if you are not a facebook user. We leave on July 6th and get back on July 21st. We hand in all electronic communication devices from 2pm on the 13th and get them back after exams are finished on the 16th - so there will be no updates from me during that time :-) Here is the link
Here is a photo of the supporters board I displayed at the Market. What do you think?
WOOHOO! I have my participant contribution and it looks like enough left over to help with the uniform cost too!! Thank you all so very very much - I will keep you informed of progress - We leave on 6th July - Not long now!
They really want me to achieve my funding goal! The matching offer has been extended for another week! That's until the night of Thursday 4th June.
THANKS SPARK :-)
I am nearly there - I was really really scared I wouldn't be able to do it - But now I can see the end thanks to all of you! Still a few days left of the Spark $ for $ offer and then the Pirongia Market and hopefully we will meet the goal!
Woohoo - Thanks so much The Spark Foundation!
I am nearly half way to my goal and now Spark have come on board to match $1 for $1. This is a limited time offer so please spread the word - donating a $1 will give me $2 - And EVERY $1 is important :-)
I have been so lucky to have had the opportunity to refine some of my practical skills by taking part in some tutorials at the Waikato University. Thank you Dr Campbell and the tutors and uni students for helping develop my skills!! And thanks to the teachers and staff at Waikato Dio for ferrying me back and forth between the Uni and school - So much support, I am truly grateful!
Thanks to the kindness of the van der Sande clan I have some Casaurina (Sheoak) for a firewood raffle. Dad has ringed and split it. The wood is green but I am told this stuff can be successfully burnt green - or you can be prepared for next winter! OR we will swap for dry Macrocarpa if you prefer :-) The raffle is for approx. 1 cubic metre and tickets are $2 each limited to 100 tickets - Send me an email if you want a ticket or 10!

A bit more coverage in the Waikato Times and on the Waikato Dio facebook page. We don't get the Times so could someone please save the article for me?

Big thanks to Cathy and Joe for donating their pile of scrap metal. Should bring in a nice boost to the kitty!
Thank you to Cathy, the reporter from the Te Awamutu Courier, for the wonderful article about me! Thanks for spreading the word Cathy.
Please remember to spread the word. We are getting closer!
