Reversed Bucket list for people who care about completed bucket lists

My reversed bucket list

One of the biggest things recently in blogs was the introduction of bucket lists. These bucket lists are a series of goals or ambitions to which someone can just tick them off after they have done it. Sadly, the majority of bucket lists on the internet remain just a moment of inspiration and unfulfilled.

So, inspired by this tweet from Sticky Parkour.

I will not be publishing a list of thing that I want to do, instead i’ll be publishing a list of thing I have done and thus this is my reversed bucket list this page will be constantly updated during The Ephemeral Project’s life. Although this is the first time that I have ever done or thought of a bucket list I feel it’s important to include things that I have already done and dusted and hope to echo Sticky Parkour’s tweet.

Charity work

READ International -2007-09

READ International was a big part of my degree and i’m really proud to have been right at the start when the charity was in its early days to have helped it develop as a group in my university. As a team we fundraised around £8000 and collected over 25,000 school textbooks and shipped them over to Tanzania.

While we fundraised for a year and time hours collecting and sorting the books I never actually got to do my job and to go around the schools. We were we meant to hand out all the books to 25 schools in the Tabora region of Tanzania allowing the children to gain an education and to work themselves out of poverty.

However, due to basic hospital equipment in Tabora I was diagnosed with malaria and typhoid and got airlifted in a air ambulance to Nairobi in which I was put in hospital while they ran some tests for 3 days. I was fine. I still have the x-ray they let me keep.

Hitchhiked to Prague raising £350 for LCD

Bollocks to Poverty mosaic - In progress.

The bollocks to poverty mosaic is an attempt to raise £10,000 for ActionAid. I”m creating a 5000 photo mosaic that will end up in the form of the Bollocks to Poverty mosaic. You can view the latest stage of the mosaic here. Better still, why not get involved and upload your photo to add to this project? You can donate via this website

£10,000 can changes lives forever:

£10,000 could provide a borehole for two schools, providing a clean and safe water supply in Malawi.

£10,000 would pay for a woman’s empowerment programme in Nepal, which focuses on domestic violence, community support mechanism, awareness of anti-trafficking and seeking alternative income to stop trafficking of children.
