As many of you already probably know we
learnt that our RCNUWC friend Reneilwe Lesenyeho (98-00) died last Saturday. She and several of her running partners were run
over by a drunk driver during their morning training. (I
included 3 press releases ar the end of this email and as an
attached file)
We are all deeply shocked by
this news and a group of RCNUWC grads is organizing a few ways for
all of us to help Reneilwe's family financially and/or have our
messages of loss, grief and support be brought to them.
The
funeral and memorial ceremony for Reneilwe will be held on
Saturday morning in Pretoria/South
Africa. Tuffy Hobona (98-00) and Jenny
Karlsen (97-99) will attend it.
They are willing to help
bring financial contributions from our community and
any personal messages you wish to send to Reneilwe's
family.
Please help us spread the word, we need them
by Thursday
night (THAT MEANS TONIGHT) in order for Jenny and
Tuffy to print/collect and give it to the family.
Messages, pictures... We are planning to give messages coming from
the grads to Reneilwe's family. I therefore took the
liberty to start compiling the messages many of you
posted on their Facebook wall or on Reneilwe's wall.
The result of this compilation is included at the end
of the email. If you want to edit/delete your message,
or if you want to contribute and your message does not
yet appear on this list : PLEASE, REPLY TO THIS MAIL NOW AND TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO DROP A LINE OR
TWO. Thanks!
If you have nice videos or photos of
Reneilwe, any media you wish to share please the
reunion dropbox that was set up to share our reunion
picture. I have set up a folder there named “For
Reneilwe” where I dropped all the pictures of her I
could find in the rest of the dropbox. There is also a
collage made of all these pictures (attached to the
mail as well).
If you just have a few pics to upload you can
do it from whereever you are by directly connecting
here : http://www.dropbox.com/
(email :reunion...@googlemail.com
; password : haughland) and upmoading direclty the files.
REMINDER : Dropbox is a program that allows
you to synchronise files between your computer and an
online folder. If you don't already have installed
dropbox on your computer, go here : www. dropbox.com
and download the program adapted to your OS. It should
be all relatively easy to install and use, but if you
need help (in addition to what's online), let me know.
I've set up an account to centralise all our pics and
movies : email :reunion...@googlemail.com password : haughland
Financial
contributions If you want to contribute financially Sinzi Greiner (97-99) has kindly shared her paypal account
where you can easily transfer your financial
contribution to by using the email address: niwe...@hotmail.com via Paypal.
If you don't have a Paypal account and do not
want to open one, Jenny Karlsen also has a bank account in Norway set up
under "In memory of Reneilwe Lesenyeho".
