New information!

So I have some new information. I have received a budget, and the cost has unexpectedly risen because of the cost of living in Tanzania is quite high. The total cost is now £7,589.59 ]
My church has also been very generous and contributed towards the cost of the year. The mission team put forward my case, the money is from the church mission fund.

However today I had a cake sale at school and managed to raise just over £100. Also the school has a link with a school in Kenya. A teacher has asked on my behalf if the organisers of the Kenyan trip would be willing to share the non uniform day in the summer term and they agreed! This God willing will raise around £800.

I also have news that I will being living with a German guy called Arne.

I have a lot to thank God for, his answers to prayer and that He is still in control no matter how high the living costs are in Tanzania.
Please pray with me:
Thanks that the cake sale went exceptionally well
That I will continue to trust that God will continue to provide.
That I will be able to balance my time between my A levels and fund-raising/planning for my gap year.

Thanks.
