For the past year I have been fundraising in order to take part in Childreach International's Summit to Sea Challenge. This involved me climbing Mount Toubkal and trekking along the Moroccan coast line in every weather condition imaginable. Instead of writing a day by day blog of my experience in Morocco, like I did with …
Being Allergic To Gluten Sucks!
I am a sufferer of Coeliac Disease and can I tell you one thing? I would give anything not to be! I was diagnosed when I was eight years old, and apart from the horrible boys at school shouting things at me in the playground for having a week off school, I didn't really notice …
Another Life Update and Thoughts On Christmas
December has been crazy, I didn't even notice it pass. I swear to God it was just Halloween like yesterday, and wasn't I in Morocco the other week? This month I have been crazy focussed...on everything at once! Firstly of course there is Uni which, being in second year, has upped the pace a wee …

Freshers Flu
This time last year I was a genuine fresher, I'd hardly drank a drop of alcohol in my life (it was reserved for special occasions *rolls eyes*). I moved into halls and I stocked up on everything I possibly could to prevent myself from catching the dreaded Freshers Flu. I was terrified of being ill …
The Year of the Facebook Challenge

Quick Life Update (August 2014)
Usually I have some sort of topic in mind before I start writing a post, not today. I guess an update if kind of a topic but still it leaves a lot to the imagination. This post could be about anything! Firstly it is about my new flat! I looooove my new flat, it is …
Morocco – 22nd of June
Our last day in the village of Marigha. We felt so welcomed and accepted by the people in the village that it made us sad to think we had to leave. I know that we will all miss the children so much. In terms of building work we were back to sand chaining and shovelling. …
Morocco – 21st of June
Plastering walls in Morocco essentially consists of throwing cement at walls. We spent the day being taught the technique that means the cement actually sticks to the wall; this does not mean that the cement actually stuck to the wall. The children were waiting outside the house wanting to play after we finished building, so …
Morocco – 20th of June
I think the villagers were becoming more used to us being there, we had a bigger audience at the build site and even a couple of the local girls came out to see what we were doing. One of the the girls wanted to give us a hand with the building, she must have been …
