I read the article written by Sam Cook about fund<br />

raising for his expedition to Uganda.<br />

Please support him by offering him small jobs for some<br />

money!!<br />

Our daughter, Mani, went on a similar expedition to<br />

Namibia in 2005, which became a reality for her<br />

because of the support of all the people in the village.<br />

She had never pulled a blade of grass from the garden,<br />

but for raising money for her trip, she picked weeds in<br />

someone's garden, she helped with car parking at a<br />

wedding & did a sponsored walk to Chelmsford.<br />

The experience she gained at the expedition has taught<br />

her many life skills which children in the west<br />

generally do not get, until they go on expeditions.<br />

Children should know that money does not come<br />

without putting effort & time. They experience first<br />

hand, how many people live, the diverse cultures,<br />

respect for others, team work & putting others before<br />

themselves.<br />

All young people should be encouraged to volunteer<br />

and/or go on expeditions, where they learn to help<br />

others without expecting reward. This will make them<br />

life experiences which will stay with them forever. I<br />

wish my son had completed his Duke of Edinburgh<br />

awards!!!<br />

I am sure people can support Sam with offers of<br />

helping out with events or suggesting various ways of<br />

raising funds (from their own experiences)!!<br />

I wish him Best of Luck with his fund raising and again<br />

thank all those people who helped my daughter, in<br />

making her dream a reality (World Challenge) in 2005.<br />
