To even think about going to South Africa with Project Trust, I needed to spend 4 days on the Isle of Coll off the west coast of Scotland! To get there I had to take 3 trains, spend the night in Oban then catch an early morning ferry for the final stretch to Coll. Once there, we were put into groups and did activities to see how well we worked with others and throughout the week we attended several workshops to help us with fundraising. While on the island, we stayed (in small groups) with one of the 220 residents of Coll. I stayed with a very nice woman called Paula, and her daughter Beth (Also, the kitten Storm, the dog Neville, the hamster Hamish and finally, 4 sheep called Floppy, Hoppy, Skippy and Mr. T!!)
