With
the bulk of our 2013/14 work completed over the summer months of
2013, our first round up of the year is somewhat shorter than usual,
but there are still a few developments to report!
Charity of the year
Vicki's
workplace continued their support of Selvin as their charity of the
year with some festive fundraising.
On
13 December, numerous colleagues donned their christmas jumpers, and
one even decided to come fully dressed as Santa, raising over £65 in
the process!

In
addition to Christmas knitwear, there was a collection in lieu of
sending Christmas cards, which raised just shy of £150.
So
far, hundreds of pounds have been raised by Vicki's extremely
generous and supportive colleagues, and this money will make a huge
difference to the schools we are supporting in the coming years.
Run Forest Run
After
hanging up her running shoes after the London Triathlon, Vicki is
back in running training over the cold winter months in preparation
for the Douro half marathon in May.
Other
fundraising events will be announced later on in the year.
A
local primary school in Honduras. Earlier this month, we delivered
100 pencil, 20 boxes of paint,
30 packs of paper, 20 boxes of crayons, 250 exercise books and 100
numeracy books to the school, sourced locally to support local
businesses. We have also been able to supply the teachers with vital
teaching materials such as marker pens for white boards.
This
delivery means the school will be stocked with these much needed
items for the next 12 months, which marks a great achievement to see
in the new year for Selvin!
The futures Selvin
Stu
and Vicki are both thrilled that due to the extraordinary support we
have received over the past three years, we are able to continue
supporting schools in 2015 and 2016, extending our remit to Ecuador
and Peru.
And
finally, a great big huge thanks...
For
your continued support in 2013, your generosity is ever humbling and
very much appreciated. You make Selvin the success it is.
Happy
New Year amigos de Selvin x
