30 Days Wild: Day 1

Our first day (me, Deb and 3 year old mini scribbles) of our 30 Days Wild challenge was spent thinking of ideas for the month ahead and taking a little walk in the rain. Unfortunately, my silly phone decided that it had no space for us to take pictures, but that's ok as we got to focus on our walk more. As was as picking up fallen leaves and twigs, to paint with over the next week, we talked about different flowers and plants that we spotted and, of course, there was plenty of jumping in muddy puddles.

We hope you have had fun during your first wild day! We promise to take more pictures tomorrow.

30 Days Wild

We are looking forward to taking part in The Wildlife Trust's 30 Days Wild challenge. The challenge is simple, all you need to do is get outside and do something wild each day. Who's in?

Help Build a Nursery in South Africa

Little Scribbles founder, Deb, spent time in Africa back in 2006, volunteering in a children's orphanage in Kenya. A little bit of her heart stayed in Kenya and she has done her best ever since, to raise money in supportive and effective way. We recently came across a fantastic local project, that aims to travel to South Africa to make hands-on changes to one of the poorest communities in the country. Youth at The Lane are a group of young people from South Liverpool, that are part of the Long Lane Church community. In August 2015 they will be flying to Johannesburg, South Africa to build a nursery for children stuck in poverty. Their goal is to raise £25,000 to enable around 25 community members to go and make this happen. Find out more about the team and their project here 

To help support the team, we are holding an online Barefoot Books fundraiser. Barefoot have lots of great books that feature tales from Africa, here are just a few of our favourites

There are lots more options on the website and if you buy any item from my Barefoot Books store, using the link below, and 25% of profits will be donated to this fundraiser. If the team have room in their bags, we will also donate a selection of books for the nursery!
