I want to express how thankful I am to each and every person that
supported my fundraising page. I hope you all feel how good it is to
be able to help others that are less fortunate.
My favourite part of this challenge was hearing so many people talk
about what I was doing, which ultimately raised awareness about the
issues of poverty and food security/malnutrition.
I was sharing with colleagues today that it all makes more sense now.
When I was in Kenya I noticed that there were lots of people that sit
around their homes not doing anything. I always wondered why they
weren't at work or completing household tasks or hanging out with
friends. Now I understand that their body probably doesn't feel well
and they don't have the energy to do anything - all the result of not
having enough food and eating unhealthy meals that don't fuel the body.
By helping me surpass my fundraising goal and raising over $2,200,
you will be part of creating the following impact:
Life Garden projects for 4 communities in need with a total of 256
double-dug garden beds (5ft by 20ft beds)
142 people eating healthy, nutritious, disease-fighting foods
The gardens will help produce approximately 12,812 meals per month
which are valued at $8,328
I am back to eating normally again which I am happy about. I am
taking it slowly as my body gets back to eating different foods again.
Thank you again for following and supporting me through out this
journey. I wouldn't have been able to do it without you!
