From cake baking/selling to collecting donations from the generous people of Sheffield, In two days I managed to achieve £50. Thank you again to all the people whom donated, and for the opportunity gave by both; Balloon Kenya and Sheffield Hallam Studnet’ Union. It is surreal to say, I will be jetting off tomorrow!!
Thanks to all the people whom have donated so far on Laura’s Go Fund Me Donation Page, my first few vaccinations at the Student Health at SHU Medical Centre (Sheffield Hallam University), have been covered!! More Vaccinations to be had but it’s worth it so thank you so much for the support, 5 weeks and 4 days to go before I am with the other fellows in business enterprise Balloon Kenya thanks to the guidance of Sheffield Hallam Student’ Union!!!
Recently picked up my T-shirt for business enterprise ‘Balloon Kenya’, sponsored by Sheffield Hallam Student’ Union and I’m now proud to announce I am officially a 2015 Fellow 🙂
“So Excited! Hope it Fits!!”
The Girls are Bonkers!
Well, after months of saving my tips from work as a Valet, the BlackJack Kings, Charming Poker Players, Elderly Fruit Machine Lovers and Roulette Betting Customers have helped me reach £400, this will be quite a nice currency exchange for my travels, Thank you very much!! 🙂 
Working at Genting Casinos in Sheffield has been a great chapter in my life, I have great management and the craziest team, the Girls are Bonkers!! It will be a sad page turner leaving them; nevertheless 2 months later I’ll be back for cocktails..

Speeding through arrangements, I booked my flights through Thomas Cook..
Sure, I could of booked through STA or flight comparison websites such as Skyscanner, but I wanted the same sense of security i felt with travel clerks; Janet and Joanne whom; jumped through hoops for hours, making certain i got the best price for the best suited flight times for me.
The excitement of Balloon Kenya began embedding into my brain during a seminar projected in my fourth and final year at Sheffield Hallam University, the programme was explained by a guest speaker from Sheffield Hallam Student’s Union and in return my motivation grew!
I applied by email, attaching my C.V; with the knowledge and understanding that my final year of studying Tourism Management; outcome is the most important. After two weeks with no word It was detrimental to understand why
“Don’t give up, Question why!”
I discovered it was my mistake and the email had not been sent, I was told there were still places and achieved a telephone interview. Once I found out my application was successful, I began making my fundraising plans.
