We set up our justgiving page on the 14th of May
We participate in weekly group challenges - we will post the updates here!

We decided to participate in the popular 2.6 challenge:
Using the numbers 2 & 6 , we each came up with creative personal challenges, and fulfilled them in 1 week.
Some did exercise, played basketball, folded their clothes, did push ups, learnt new languages, walked , and even went on gaming marathons.
We really managed to express ourselves with this one.

I must admit, this has been my favourite so far. We each brought out our baking skills and made a refuge-inspired cake!
One word- DELICIOUS!
I hope you enjoy these mouth-watering pictures!
Also, feel free to leave a comment on this :)

We are still learning, educating and feeling. We take time to reflect , and just like you, we are willing to understand more and more. In such difficult times, the best we can do, is remain united. 💕
