Team Honk does #goodwork

It was those #secretthing tweets that got tongues wagging across the blogging community. We didn’t know what was going on but we were promised something epic.

And wasn’t it just! Annie from Mammasaurus, Tanya from Mummy Barrow and Penny from Alexander Residence were only going to Ghana for Comic Relief!!! I’ve no idea how Team Honk managed to keep such a monumental #secretthing secret. I can only presume they had their fingers sellotaped at regular intervals to minimise temptation.

Last Sunday the excited trio set off for Ghana with none other than TV legends Davina McCall and Jonathan Ross. As if flying out to Ghana with Comic Relief wasn’t surreal enough!

The purpose of their trip was to visit projects, live blog, tweet and share the #goodwork Comic Relief has done with some of the £600 million raised since Red Nose Day started in 1988. They visited four projects; a women’s bakery (that recently featured in the Great British Bake Off), a school in a slum area, a vaccination clinic and a mental health project. They did an incredible job in circumstances that must have been so surreal not to mention emotional.

I received this photo from Team Honk today. It was taken at the vaccine clinic where babies and children were receiving the rotavirus inoculation. Here you see the women and children in the weighing area, where the babies and children are weighed and measured before the nurse records it in their child health record books.

This is a digital postcard sent from TeamHonk (www.mammasaurus.co.ukwww.aresidence.co.ukwww.mummybarrow.com) during their travels with Comic Relief in Ghana celebrating #goodwork.

For the past 25 years the money raised through Red Nose Day has been changing the lives of the poorest and most disadvantaged people in the UK and Africa. Let’s Keep Up the Good Work. Find out how at rednoseday.com

      You must have been absolutely exhausted not to mention emotionally drained. Did you even sleep?! An incredible job and phenomenal to see what you created unfold through posts, tweets, postcards and vblogs 🙂

    Thanks for your support Charly 🙂 Surreal is definitely the word for the trip, that is hitting me now I am back. Feels like I dreamt it, so lovely to see all these pics proving I didn’t.

      No worries at all Penny! It must have been incredible not to mention emotionally draining. You were all fantastic and created something amazing. Maybe you could put all the photos in a book 🙂
