What an amazing girl - raising over $5000 for the Bulrushes Babies Home in Kampala, Uganda. Ellie was inspired at the Colour Women's Conferance in April and since then has been plodding away with selling chocolates at school and a few businesses around town. She also did a couple of movie fund-raising nights and a coffee and desert night. I think the biggest challenge were the radio interviews. While she said that she could feel her legs trembling, her voice certainly didn't and she carried it very well. Anyhow, it is all finished - though we still have about 20 boxes of chocolates in her bedroom. The hair is growing quickly and the sense of satisfaction profound. Wonder what the next challenge will be? Maybe Year 11 will be enough for this year.
