Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page! This Easter, I am going to be part of the group of architecture students from The University of Nottingham travelling to South Africa to build a pre-school, as a part of the Design/Build Studio. To see progress with the school design and build, make sure to follow @design_build_studio 

All the architect students have submitted their designs and my design was one of the 4 that have been shortlisted and sent to the headteacher and engineering firm in South Africa for them to make the final selection. I have attached some photos of my design, as well as some site photos to this page in the gallery section. Even if mine is not the final design that is chosen, we all are involved in this design next term, and then we all go out in 2 week blocks, across 3 phases to build this final design.

I have entered the Leeds Spring Canal Canter marathon on March 16th 2024 as a focus to my fundraising efforts. I've not done a marathon before but I'm in full training now for this event. I will be posting updates with my training on here through my Strava account. 

We have to fundraise £2500 to go towards this so any donations will be appreciated!
