Cars Cars Cars

Hello my lovely Africa Goal: The Film supporters!

Well I am pleased to announce that this week I have not only secured sponsorship funds from a spatial information systems company called Envitia (www.envitia.com) but THL Media has also purchased the trusty steed that I hope shall carry the crew from one end of Africa to the other during the World Cup!

Its a Landrover Discovery, its got a fair few miles under its belt but I hope with a thorough service and some TLC that it will do what we need it to do!

We are still fundrasing to cover fuel, food, malaria medication etc so if any of you have some spare change knocking about after pay day then feel free to send it this way - any sum is appreciated!

Charity Gig

WhooooHOOOO!

The tickets are booked, the camera equipment is hired and the cheque for the insurance is in the post! 3 massive breakthroughs!

We still need to raise another 2K at least so I am organising a fundraising gig.
Keep your ear to the ground because it looks like its going to be a sick line up!

Please dig deep into those pockets to help us reach our target and change lives in remote communities in Africa!

VISUAL IMPACT

Amazing! Visual Impact in London have offered me an amazing deal on camera equipment for the Africa Goal production. Thanks to them I will have 2 Sony EX1 cameras, tripods, sound gear and lots of memory cards! Pretty important stuff if we're gonna capture every moment!

Few more cheques have arrived over the last week and I am about to head to the bank to put them in.

I intend to finally book the flights with KLM for myself and Jonathan by the end of this week so cameras and flights are GO! Phew!

This is all really exciting and its all coming together slowly but we are still in need of funds to help pay for fuel for the vehicle not to mention the odd bit of food to sustain me!

You're probably all sick of hearing this but if any of you who haven't donated yet can spare a couple of ££s here or there it would be very much appreciated - its uuber easy to do - just visit http://www.thlmedia.com/donate.html and donate using the PayPal button or you can contact me and ask for a donation form so that you can donate by cheque! Please give it some though :)

Hope you're all enjoying this sunshine treat - first bit of sun for 2010! whoohoo!

Biggest donation yet!

£200! Wow, amazing to get such a big cheque through the post! and it couldn't have come at a better time as I am working on kit lists and the hire costs aren't cheap nor the insurance so please get donating if you can!
