Letter of Appreciation from EDUCO AFRICA. Sometimes we do make a difference.

During the last couple of weeks of the tour I decided with the help of one the nicest people you could meet to try and collect donations from the tour cyclists and donate them to a charity in Capetown.  Well we all know I donated the silver bullet to Songo to help disadvantage youth in the Capetown Flats, but I didn't know where all the sleeping bags, tents, clothing, were going to go.  I received a nice letter from Viv & riding partner Peter Lamond of Capetown about the camping gear donation and I thought I should share it with you.

Re. Donation of in-kind camping gear.

Dear Viv,

Many thanks for supporting Educo Africa with the generous donation of outdoor camping gear provided by Tour de Afrique.

This year has seen us full to capacity with our wilderness courses to vulnerable youth and workshops for those who work with them. Thus the equipment is used extensively and needs regular overhauling. We have also taken on three new trainee staff this year and will be recruiting more in the near future. They will also benefit from the use of your donation.

Our new Annual report will be out soon and we will make sure you can get a copy so you can read of young people with whom Educo Africa has had the privilege of working and whose life journeys have turned in a more positive direction in the last year. This is only possible with the support of the friends of Educo Africa like yourself.

Warm regards

Mark Gamble

Chief Executive Officer
