Hi friends!The GVN Foundation has been buzzing the last couple of weeks! There is so much going on I just don’t know where to start! Here are a few exciting highlights for you:
-Colin Salisbury and Nadine McNeil visited Haiti to make final preparations for our first group of volunteers and meet with our new partners working on the ground. In a Facebook message Colin wrote: “Just arrived in the US from Haiti. They certainly need GVN's help. It was amazing, hard, heart wrenching and uplifting. The Haitian's resilience astounds me...” Colin is back in the office on Thursday and we look forward to having him back!
- Courtney Montague, Nadine McNeil, and Colin Salisbury also just finished facilitating another Be The Change course in Jamaica. I spoke to Courtney this morning and she said “It was a wonderful week and the team were amazing.” I am sure we will be hearing a lot more about our next group of changemakers!
- The GVN Foundation Headquarters was recently treated to an afternoon makeover! Eliza, Caitie and I tidied up all of the boxes and bits of pieces that had been cluttering up our space and replaced them with beautiful pictures and crafts from around the world. We have a gorgeous new welcome mat at the front door and hope to have a few more visitors too. So if you're ever in our neighborhood.... : )
- The Eat So They Can Kenya Team are making their final preparations and will be arriving in Nairobi on the weekend of April 10th. Hilary Sullivan, Grand Prize winner was guest blogger this week on our ESTC site and says “ I am excited about the fact that a great deal more was raised in 2009 and GVN will be able to have an even greater impact”. Check out the full blog now!
Stay tuned for the next update when we will announce and introduce the full ESTC Kenya Team!
Hugs til then,
Lauren
