Dear Fundraisers,
You may have noticed that it's been a while since I posted to the FIT google group. This is because for the past two months I have been riding my bicycle through over 2500kms in Thailand, to raise money for Oxfam Australia. So far I have raised over $1500 to help the victims of Haiti. If you wish to support my journey you can do so
here
The
journey
has been wonderful, and I truly believe that the road has led me to
this point where I am standing now for a very good reason. I have
decided not to return to Bangkok but to continue riding into China on the 19th February, cycling towards Beijing to take the
train to Russia/Europe later in the year. I am going alone this time,
so it will be a new and very unique experience.
The past 1.5 years of coordinating the FIT network have been a delight, and I have enjoyed getting to know and learn from you all. The network has grown from 6 to over 80 members and has been recognized by the international fundraising community as a source of knowledge about fundraising in this region. Thank you for your ongoing support and encouragement during this time.
In 2010 FIT will share with you some exciting new developments such as a the network's first publication - a report on 'Giving in Thailand' - and a possible fundraising training is in the pipeline, so keep your eyes peeled in the next couple of months.
Although I am no longer going to be associated with the FIT Network, I hope it will continue to flourish as a way for fundraisers to share knowledge and collaborate. If you have any questions, opportunities or job openings for FIT members please continue to post them to the google group by sending an email to
fundraisers...@googlegroups.com
Ruth and Nui will continue to act as the FIT coordinators and can be contacted on:
ruth....@gmail.com, roat...@gmail.com
Wishing you peace, joy and much fundraising success in 2010!
Hannah
