Following on from the recent blog ‘Coming up on friends of pakati very soon’, I have delivered on much of what was promised:
Launch of the Authors fundraising ‘event’ for this year – losing weight!
First day I had a weigh-in to show a starting point, and now I have also started walking again, similar to last year, around my local area of Bradford. The good news is that donations have started to come in once more, and already I have had a number of promises of more.

Still waiting for confirmation of Debbie’s precise involvement in fundraising activities
Email from Debbie suggests she is looking to do a sponsored event, either walking, running or cycling in the Bristol area. All funds raised to go to friendsofpakati.com

Former student revisits Pakati Secondary school
Lorraine Mapuranga went back to Pakati Secondary school for the first time since she completed Form 4 in 1992, and sent her report in recently.

I will continue to update the blog with all aspects of the project, from Zimbabwe and the UK, to keep followers, donors and interested parties involved throughout the year.
