In 16 hours, my colleagues and I will be on our way to Cape Town, South Africa to participate in the 2015 Mellon Educate Building Blitz.
We are all beyond excited and have spent months fundraising and working toward this trip.
If you're reading this as a supporter of one or more of the team, we thank you!
Each of us has our own story for why we have signed up and what we expect to give and receive out of the experience. Over the week, you'll hear those stories and afterwards, our reflections on the event. For the last month or so, we've been collecting donations of clothing, books, stationery, footballs and other items for the Masiphumelele community from friends and colleagues.
Today, we learned that those donations weighed 255 kilograms and it's now boxed and ready to go to Cape Town. The South African Airways Cargo team donated the cost of the freight to our cause.
We are all so very grateful to all those that have donated money, goods and services to the trip--see, they're all ready to go!
Talk to you from Cape Town!
To learn more about the event, you can find it on the Mellon Educate UK website.
