Dear Supporter,
Things have been very busy over here at the GVI-CT and we have had some great successes that I would like to share with you.
We are still overwhelemed by the support that everyone has shown Nepal after the devistating earquakes that hit there earlier this year. Relief effort is ongoing and there are still thousands of people whoare in need of our help. The monsoon season has been particularly tough this year due to the destruction of the earthquake. Mud slides have been numerous, road have been blocked and bridges have become un-usuable. As a result most of the reconstruction efforts have been put on hold. Once we get the all clear, we will contine the work on a community centre. Read more about the earthquake here.
In Mexico we are so impressed by our two teams who both participated in charity challenges to raise money for the special needs centre that we work at. The money that they raised has allowed us to pay for the dog therapy to continue at the centre for another 6 months. The children love interacting with the dogs and it is amazing witnessing the healing interaction between the dogs and the children. Read about our childcare project here.
Our team over in Fiji has been celebrating the success and determination of Owen Doel, who recently completed a walk around Wales to raise money to build a skills training centre in the remote district of Dawasamu. The walk was an epic 1027 miles and took Owen just over a month to compelete. He managed to raise £7000 ($10 500) and we need to raise another £3000 ($4500) in order for the project can be completed. Make a donation to help us finish the training centre here.
In Cape Town we are very happy to see that our team in HQ has been raising money to support the GVI-CT. They will be taking part in the grueling Impi Challenge next weekend. It is a 11km obstacle course that will test their fear of heights, murky waters, mud and confined spaces. We wish them luck in their endevour!
So, as you can see, there has been a lot going on all around the world.
Thank you for supporting us so that we can support our projects all around the world!
With Gratitude,
GVI-CT
