In 11 days I embark on the make poverty History campaign. I am struggling to keep up with all of that. I put it on the back burner whilst i focused on Church Camp and returned home to an in box full of emails to sift through, I missed a five hour training day on the trip and feel a little bit outside of everyone else as the group consists of mostly academics and I'm far from it. The big push at this stage for the road trip is to create awareness and many people have written to MP's and media and what not. My spelling and grammar would scare off any potential MP so I painted the wall (after checking the spelling) and encouraged those in the Car Club to sign an online petition. I took the approach that I may not be a academic and write long convincing letters but I can at least use what gifts I do have and the contacts I have to help. Fingers crossed it does make a difference. The thing that worries me now is i will be on an eight day road trip where by true self will become known. Am I truly who they wanted on this? they know I'm a mechanic right? Why do I always question myself? I know i will look back and realise they knew who I was and wanted me on the trip because of that. Regardless its all a little bit frightening, the point i guess i need to focus on here is that its not about me its about those with far less then me. So I will go and try and be confident in myself and make a difference.
