Nat's 'fun' raising!

I am truly blown away. The genuine interest, generosity and support from my friends, relatives and Virgin Blue family has been amazing.

My excitement levels increased from the moment I was notified about the Virgin Unite Connection Trip, and it appears there are no sign of those levels decreasing. There is also an air of excitement around the office as V Australia (Virgin Blue's newest airline) launched their first flight from Melbourne to Johannesburg on 12th March. Ulusaba was also featured on one of our national television programs recently, so African fever is definitely all around!

As a passionate supporter of Virgin Unite, my fundraising was officially kicked off around ‘Virgin Village’ (Virgin Blue head office) last week when 'Fun' Raising Crew t-shirts arrived. They were kindly donated (by QLD t-shirt Co.) to help promote the cause. The first event served up an amazing array of sweets for morning tea. Almost AU$1500 was raised as hungry villagers filled their tummies and raised their sugar levels.

Stay tuned for updates on further fundraising activities.

Satesh...

Well, herein begins a most wonderful journey, actually, the journey began so many months ago on a Saturday evening when I began to complete the application form. Therein lies the secret of success...taking the time out of your busy day, stay later before going out on the town to give some time, for the chance to help another.

The application sent of, a few prayers said and here I am, preparing, meeting, greeting, gently nudging those nearest and dearest, those that appreciate the news and those that can learn from the work to be carried out on this very special adventure.

It's the awareness that needs to be raised first, then the approach and finally the realisation of the outcome.

More to follow on the day to day, keep the heart racing the mind fixed on the goal...Satesh
