Well another year has passed and the 2010 'Gift of Giving' campaign is now complete.
I found this year's project a little easier than the last, as I kind of knew what to expect this time.
Where could someone even begin to describe their trip to Freetown in Sierra Leone?
The world seems to forget Africa when it suits them, I have been to four different countries in Africa so far and although it is only a small portion of the continent I can honestly say people may forget Africa but Africa won't and can't be ignored...
At the beginning of October, I was given the opportunity to travel to Freetown, Sierra Leone with the Tebbs Second Chances project.
The purpose of the trip was to personally distribute the stationery donated to the children at the two schools highlighted previously by Tebbs.
Dear Friends/Family
Thank you all for your support, kind words, prayers and well wishes.
I would like to report that on Sunday 20th September 2009 Sophia Jackson (Tebbs Sc PR Consultant) and I travelled to Sierra Leone for the final stage of the 2009 Stationery Drive.
Hi Fiona, Sophia and team of tebbssc,
We are very grateful for the valuable donations of stationery intems, bags and reading books you brought us. Between the children and ourselves we are not sure of who is more delighted.
I was asked to write about my experiences during this first project.
Well, when I started this project in December 2008, in my head all I was doing was sending stationery for some children in Freetown Sierra Leone. What I didn't realise was that it would end up being much bigger than that!
