My plans are all very exciting, but unfortunately also very expensive.
I've done my best to earn the amount through my 4 jobs plus babysitting, but I still have a long way to go. £3500 to go, to be specific.
So...
with my grade 8 piano exam on Thursday, I'm going to give MY FIRST PIANO RECITAL - IVORIES TO AFRICA as a fundraiser!
It is on Saturday 15th November (next week) at 7.30 at Kirkbymoorside Memorial Hall.
I will be playing a varied programme: Martinu, Bach, Schubert, Liszt, Mozart, Debussy, Strauss and Grieg. In between pieces I will talk as much as possible about my African Adventure, and will put up a display about Oyster and my plans. Entry is free, but donations will be very welcome. I'm going to do it like the Oxfam Unwrapped scheme - people will be able to buy, for example, 3 days worth of malaria tablets, or insect repellant, or contribute to a water purification device.
I hope it will be a fun evening, and a memorable first recital!

Dear Lucie,
'Ivories to Africa' was indeed a wonderful evening, and very enjoyable. You played and spoke with confidence and authority, that would put many more mature people to shame. Indeed - I heard more than a few people (all men I think...!) say that they were far too busy learning the names of beer in the pub at 18 to become as organised and determined to do something as you have done. But to do it all at the same time as 'A' levels, piano grades, working, volunteering - in addition to combating the health issues is doubly impressive. We're watching you Lucie... you'll go far! Mark
Sorry Mark, I'e only just noticed I had a comment on my blog.
Thank you, that's really lovely! I'm so pleased you enjoyed it - I was so touched at how many people turned out to support me.
I'm off to Scotland early tomorrow, but I'll try to send you an e-mail after work about the flute.
See you soon, Lx
