Hi everyone, Bayleigh and Rebecca today!
Today was our first day at Stepping Stones school. We started by getting on the school bus at 7am, we began at the first stop with 15 people and along the way we ended up on the bus with 50 team members and school children! It was a squeeze to say the least.
We had a great first day, painting, playing with play dough and introducing our team chants to the children to learn! After, we returned to the bus which was again filled to the max!
Once returned to the beautiful butterfly space, we prepared for youth club and planned activities such as volleyball, more play dough and teaching how to tell the time – which Bayleigh and Kitty struggled with as they couldn’t tell the time themselves!
So that leads us to here, we have just finished dinner are about to read all of your lovely comments from the previous day and we are looking forward to live music later!
Thank you to all our family, friends and supporters for your kind comments, however, an update on love island would be very appreciated!
Lots of love, Bayleigh and Rebecca x
P.s. They are cooking me things I like to eat so I’m eating well (from Bayleigh) x
Great to have a second blog to read tonight. I’ve even put Live Island on pause to read it but I am not going to be the one to give you all the update!!
Jay, as you’re not here Rosie is watching with me!! ?
Have another amazing day tomorrow xx

Morning everyone! Morning Aliesha and Bex
Hope your all ok and enjoying every moment of this experience together. Ryley and Brogan say hi. Brogan is sad you wont see his show but I’ve promised him we will film it just for you. Ryley had a great time in Swanage and survived. Thank goodness! Well I am sure you are having an amazing time. Just wish we had contact. Dad missing the banter and its quiet here without you. Love you and Bex to the moon and back. Xxxx
I’m so jealous to hear your news it’s such a great read . Being a nurse myself I have always wanted to volunteer somewhere like this .
It sounds like an action packed trip so hope you’re not missing us too much brad although I’m missing you ?
Don’t forget to take lots of photos xxxx
Hey hey!
Love island pffftttt. Well Maura is cracking onto Curtis (saw on fb today that Amy has left the villa but that’s on tonight’s episode which I haven’t seen yet). Tommy asked molly to be his girlfriend in the cutest way ever. Danny and Jourdan got dumped last night and another couple are going tonight. Can’t really remember anything else major, but will keep you posted.
Lots of love xxxxxx
Hey Bayleigh and Rebecca!!
I hope all is going well at Africa. We hope you enjoy your stay and we’ll see you when you come back! Stay safe, we love you xx
Hi Ciaran, we all farted in your bed last night so you will have a lovely surprise when you get home
Love island still is rubbish, no big news
Sounds like your all having ball, emotionally tough in places but you have each other to lean on for support. At least kittys been awake today by the sounds of it so that progress! Just dont ask her her left from her right hand, she does some weird L thing, it’s the only way she can remember! I’ll be sure to buy a clock while your away and I’ll sit down and explain what the big hand and little hand mean! Love you kits, hope your having the best time ever. Zak got back today and told me all about his adventures in kenya, cant wait to hear about yours. Love you, mum x
Missing u both it’s so quiet ?, hope ur having fun xxxx?
Ahh it’s good to finally hear from you Bayleigh. Really lovely to hear how you have spent your day, such a learning curve for you & so out of your comfort zone. Perhaps we should go back to a digital clock ay! ? glad that your eating well aswel as you can be so picky at times! Lol wouldn’t have you any other way tho. Big hugs & kisses to you. Mum xxx
Hi Mollie & Rebecca hope your having a wonderful time . I’m just back from Newquay and an now a Blondie lol . Miss you both and Rebecca I will have a massive bowl of carbonara waiting for you when you get back . Lots of love auntie sha and Stefan xxx
Hey Joey and team.
Thank you all for doing these blogs, it is lovely getting to hear all about the work you are getting up to and sharing some of the challenges you are all facing.
Joey – hope that toe is still holding up!! Hope you are managing to keep it clean! I really enjoyed reading your blog earlier about the hospital! I just know how hard you would have found that! I am sure you just wanted to role your sleeves up and get stuck in! It just doesn’t seem real to think of the challenges they have to face to get adequate healthcare and how inspirational the nurses and midwives are! It really makes you sit back and reflect about how lucky we are to have been born in to a country with such robust heath services! I hope it hasn’t been too emotional for you as I know what you are like!! And I am sure you found eating the beans for lunch difficult but hope you made up for it with marshmallow! Keep up the amazing work! Keep safe and look after yourself!
Love you
Mat x
Hi Summer
So you are singing (well team chant) no surprise there!!
Hoping you can tell the time!! And message for gorgeous Kitty – is this why you sleep and wake at different times to others ???? Perhaps they can teach you to tell the time from the stars instead?
Your ride in the bus to teach sounds an adventure in itself! I am sure both there and at the youth club you have made some amazing friendships.
Keep taking pictures!!!! I have a feeling you will be wanting to decorate your bedroom wall with them!
Hugs, kisses and love all the way round and bac again. Mum and Dad xx

Hi Aliesha,
Really missing you and I hope your all doing okay – are you safe?
I can see from one of the posts that a love island update is needed so here goes! Apologies if you know some of this already!
Michael and Amber has split up and he’s now with Joanna.
Amber is devastated 🙁 and showing a softer side which is nice.
Tommy asked Molly Mae to be his girlfriend.
Lucie & George & Danny & Jourdan have been voted out.
Curtis and Amy have broken up and Amy decided to leave to give Curtis time to find someone else.
In true Maura style she has hoped straight onto Curtis.
Belle & Anton are adorable!!! she even shaved his bum for him! haha
Ovie is beautiful!!
There’s 2 new arrivals (Francesca & Chris)
Chris likes Belle & Maura & Francesca likes Curtis & Ovie.
There is a recoupling tonight where the girls pick so I think Marvin should be worried.
I think that’s all for now!
Let me know if you want any further updates.
