| Looking ahead to 2011 |
It's all a bit scary and exciting at the same time
- The RYE School
We're building a solar powered school for a start. We've never built a school before yet alone one that is powered by green solar-juice.
We raised a massive $US 3,888.70 from our world-spanning Rubber Soul event and are about to announce a couple of new sponsors for the school.
It is a bit overwhelming launching into such a big project. We know that for it to succeed both as a building project and a project that empowers, that we must involve the local community. As a result, we'll be employing numerous locals to help us build the project along with all the international volunteers we can muster.
- Mama Pamba
Mamba Pamba is also looking very exciting in a scary kinda way. Our team is slowly coming together and project planning is well advanced to fit in with a two-month on-the-ground time frame.
We're also set to announce some especially exciting news about a fashion designer coming to Uganda...
- Malaria Operation
We're also excited to see our Malaria Operation under way. We've got our processes sorted and raised a bunch of money to buy nets with.
- Expansions
We're also looking to expand into some other countries. At this stage, Nepal and Ghana look promising.
I look at this list and it all seems a bit overwhelming. But then people appear. Awesome people. Empowered people. People who step up and help make our vision a reality.
Inspirational, thank you. Am involved with supporting a school in Cote D'Ivoire but only on a very small fund raising level. Hope to visit it next year if the political situation allows. Any fund raising ideas you have for a school would be much appreciated. Keep up the good work. Liz
ReplyDeleteHeya Moreolives,
ReplyDeleteA shame that Cote D'Ivoire is turning into such a mess. Let's hope the president steps down and things get back to normal.
Our main drive was the aforementioned Rubber Soul. It took a whole team to get that done.
We're looking to do another one on Feb 14th. Something like "Show your love for Uganda!"
We've also had some people independent of Meaningful Volunteer steeping up, which is very encouraging.
Good luck with your school in 2011!
Malcolm
*stepping up.
ReplyDeleteIt's scary but not impossible.
ReplyDeleteLots of behind the scene planning and hard work combined with the right people.
So many positive people encouraging and praying for us!
