It seems our blog has been a little neglected over the past...well....since we created it really. I guess we just get so busy corresponding with our fabulous volunteers and partners in country that we forget to write it all down!
Lately we have been posting some juicy updates and articles and we will continue to post bits here and there about our staff and what we’re up to at GVN. Also, if you want to follow us on Twitter or Facebook we’d love to hear from you!
Colin, GVN Founder and President would like to encourage and inspire you from time to time so you can follow him on Twitter or Facebook
Last week our South America Coordinator Libby had an operation to re-set her ankle after she broke it playing social Netball. Michelle, Kristin and Hannah have been covering for Libby while she is away – and at the same time managing their own work as well. Get well soon Libby!
Our CEO Erin Cassidy will be heading off to Peru in less than 3 weeks for the Machu Picchu Fundraising Trek. Erin and Toby (NZ Nature Team Leader) will be representing GVN on the trek starting August 16th. Erin has prepared for the trek with a mixture of treadmill, cross-trainer, and walking up and down the Normandale hill with her dogs. She’s tried to do something active each day and hopes she’s fit enough for the trek but has no idea how she will be affected by the altitude! We’re sure you’ll do great!
This is an amazing opportunity for Erin as she’ll be celebrating her birthday on the trek. ‘From what I was told I think the hardest day of the trek and birthday are the same day - so that’s a wee treat in store for me.’
Behind the scenes at Global Volunteer Network we have been working with www.givealittle.co.nz to bring you a whole new level of service for your fundraising. We’re so excited to be able to offer fundraising pages for volunteers to collect their application and program fees as well as the option to fundraise for the entire costs of your travel. We will be releasing this new service soon and will let you know all about it here.
