We did it!

12 young people and a few adults spent 2 nights in the slums and survived!

We've been pledged close to our £1000 target and are buisily collecting in the money!

Building slums in the dusk/dark was difficult, nails got lost and with no torch avaliable, it took a long time to find them again.  The first night the weather stayed dry, but increadibly cold, the second night it started to rain and the girls' slum roof collapsed so they evicted some of the leaders from their slum and slept in there (leaving the leaders slumless in the middle of the night!)

The challenges were challenging and everyone felt hungry by the end (the biscuits after church went surprisingly quickly that Sunday!) however we survived and live to tell the tale.

One of the young people said "Last year it was fun, but it was a novelty and not much of a challenge.  This year doing 2 nights instead of 1 made you really understand what its like, this year it has been really challenging."
