Tuesday 3 January 2012

Our meetings started over coffee.  Unfocused and unregulated.  But fun.  A feeling of belonging to something more.  We started as friends with a mission.  It has now changed.  Now we are women with a mission that become friends. 

We had fantastic members that accomplished great things.  We got a non profit number and registered a name.  We  got our charity number.  If anyone out there has ever actually obtained a registered charity number from the government then you know how incredibly complicated and time consuming it is.  (And rightfully so I suppose.)  We drew up by laws and set up routines.  We planned and dreamed.  And talked about what if.

What if we could actually help people.  What if we could give people what they really need when they really need it.  What if an organization helped people who were not already poverty striken.  What if a group would help people when they needed it and not a year later when their income reflects it.  What if people didn't have to lose everything before they get next to nothing.  We dreamed.

And the best thing is, it all came true. 

Thanks for today!
