Typically of social care providers, additional workloads and assistance with such projects as the Build for Better Lives go unmentioned and thanks are never expected.
On the day before we go, we should reflect on the last 2 years of steering group meetings and prepartion. £27,000 was raised. £27,000. Thats twice I have said it - £27,000 - third time because thats how unbelivable it is.
Those on the steering group and those that fundraised know who they are - thanks will not come in the form of letter or card, but it will come in the knowledge that the efforts will transform the lives of people, both in South Africa and indeed those returning to Great Britain.
Well, as you guys are setting off on the adventure of a lifetime, predictably, it's raining here! Somewhat of a contrast to where you'll be landing.....
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you all for all your hard work and determination. I can't imagine what this trip will be like. But when your limbs are aching or if you're a bit homesick, don't forget to take a minute to reflect on the total amazingness of where you are and what you're achieving.
So fly safe and keep us posted 'cos we'll all be watching!!!
