Unjambo dunia!
(Hi world)
So I was given another challenge yesterday in return for a £50 donation from my lovely new step-granddad (which I’m pretty sure he will love hate me calling him that haha) the challenge was a bit more friendly compared to the insane chilli challenge previously completed, however that did get me a good few donations! (thanks mum!)
So this was the next challenge:
Initially I thought it would be quite easy as there is a thing called Google translator, however I thought that would be cheating plus it’s also not very reliable which would be a nightmare as Paul is very well traveled and knowledgeable with these things as he is a keen Professor of Geography; so this is why I found an online Swahili dictionary and started thinking what to write!
In the end I went for this:
Which was trying to translate to this:
Hi Facebook world.
This is to give you some information on my progress to volunteer in Kenya. So far i have managed to raise 35% of my target within 2 weeks which is great! I have completed a chili challenge and plan to do many more in the near future to raise further awareness and donation, i also plan to carry out an obstacle run.
Thank you for the support – together we can help tackle poverty.
Big love!
It turned out to be pretty tough, as it isn’t very straightforward because many words can be phrased in different ways depending on their use in a sentence! In the end I typed the above into Google translator to see what it thought I was saying and it came back with this:
Hello Facebook world .
Here is to give you some information about my, developed by volunteers in Kenya . So Kilembe me and we manage to additional thirty – five per cent to focus on two weeks my, that is great ! I ‘m wrapped peppers challenges and plan to do more abundantly on almost time for overtime and then experience and contribution, I also ran a done deal Ukwu . Thanks for the help – together we can service emigrated to poverty .
Big love !
As you can see from above, it comes out a little different to what I was meaning to write due to different uses of the words, BUT I think I done pretty well if I say so myself – as did Paul, who has now donated £50 to my account 🙂 (THANK YOU!!)
This is what my fundraising page it currently looking like:
41% already – pretty good right, especially considering I still have 2-3 months to raise more money.
I hear there is a heatwave coming over Easter so I can use this to go out street fundraising as more people will be wondering around in town when the weather is nice, and sunshine makes people happier so maybe people will feel more generous to donate to a stranger with a great cause too!!
Again, if you have any ideas you think would help me raise donations or fancy giving me a challenge – feel free to comment or send me a message – much appreciated!!
