Post | Back to the ground…

14:36 on February 1st 2010

Back to Tanzania on Thursday after 6 weeks in the UK. Can’t wait.

Managed to make some excellent progress in the past month and a half – have written our strategy and had it approved by the trustees, worked with a couple of volunteers to raise a grand at a racenight, inducted our new trustees, established an exciting school link that will hopefully fund the construction of another LivLife Centre and various bits and bobs essential for setting up a charity (we’ve only been registered since September so there’s things like insurance and gift aid to sort out). Also managed to fit in getting two bouts of flu… Obviously my ability to deal with the English weather has dimmed!

The next three months is where it gets exciting and we start seeing results on the ground. After the usual first week of meetings and greetings in Tanzania, we’re kicking off with improvements and developments. Our aim over the next few months is to firm up the LivLife Centre Model and then by the end of the year, establish another Centre.

Watch this space for news, videos and photos over the coming weeks…
