One of the things I love about the blogging world is the people I have met. I don’t find making friends easy but I’ve made some great new friends through blogging. One such friend Penny is part of Team Honk; 3 bloggers on a trip to Ghana to mark the 25th Anniversary of Red Nose Day. Comic Relief are celebrating the progress of Africa and the difference the money raised by the public has made, both in Africa and here in the UK.
I remember the first Red Nose Day, walking around school as a 6th form student sporting the famous Red Nose. Now I feel old.
This school is on the edge of a slum in Accra. A slum that is home to 75,000 people. All of whom that we saw waved, high fived us, and wanted to show us their homes. The school has 250 pupils ranging from 2 to 16 and was started 10 years ago.
For the past 25 years the money raised through Red Nose Day has been changing the lives of the poorest and most disadvantaged people in the UK and Africa. Let’s Keep Up the Good Work. Find out how at rednoseday.com
Thanks so much for your support of #TeamHonk. It has been epic.
