Hi! 

Welcome to our blog! 

I though I would start the blog by sharing one of the highlights of the year. 

Sending the Container was certainly a huge highlight.... but I will share more about that one another day.

Late 2012 Mandi and I had the privilege to volunteer at a breakfast where Somaly Mam was the guest speaker. If you have not heard of her it is worth the research to learn more about her. She is an amazing, inspirational woman. Her beginnings in life is heart breaking, but what she is making of the ending inspires me daily. If there is one book to read this year it's hers! 

The link for her web page:  http://www.somaly.org/somaly-mam

You can find her book on here, plus some products made by survivors. 

Someone asked her the question "What do you recommend for someone struggling through hard times". Her answer was beautiful she said how important it was to forgive. I find it amazing that with all the wrongs done for her she can offer forgiveness. Because of her ability to forgive she has so much love to give the girls she has rescued. She also said find something you are passionate about to do something to help others. She said it does not have to be her organisation, just anything to help others. 

She would have spoken had hundreds of these type of events, met hundreds of volunteers. I know she has spent time with so many celebrities who are supporting her cause. Yet when Mandi and I met her she was so grateful, thanking us so sincerely for our help and support. I am so thankful I got to meet this amazing lady! 

Thanks for taking the time to check out our blog! We hope we can inspire you with amazing stories and some of the projects we take on! 

Cheers Ruth
