Hannah and LAFF - a message from Sarah Oakes

Hello friends,

I hope that this message finds you safe and well.

You've been invited to this event because we both shared a very special person in our lives. Someone I consider myself incredibly lucky to have known and counted as a friend.

Can you believe that it has been ten years since we said goodbye to our dear friend Hannah? Ten years ago we lost one of the kindest, most caring people Ive had the pleasure to know. And yet Hannahs legacy has not left us: she is still with us, not only in our memories, but in the amazing work that she has inspired. Hannah was passionate about making a difference for some of the most vulnerable people: that passion has lived on in the work of Latin American Foundation for the Future (LAFF), the charity based in Cusco that Hannah helped to set up.

Over the last 10 years, LAFF has continued to grow and help disadvantaged young people in Peru. This is Hannahs legacy in action. Hundreds of young people have been able to access education, safe homes, caring support, and ultimately create a better life. LAFF carries on Hannahs vision of a better world. Through the generosity of her family, her friends, her school and colleagues, Hannahs legacy has continued to make a difference. For that, LAFF wants to thank every single person.

To celebrate Hannah and her legacy, and to say thank you, wed like to bring as many people who knew Hannah together as we can to take a moment to remember and appreciate this amazing person and the legacy she has left.

Of course, we would love to be able to come together in person. But we wont let that stop us.

Well be hosting the tea party virtually via Zoom. Well hear a bit about the amazing work that Hannah has inspired, and wed love to share some of Hannah memories together with you. How wonderful would it be to bring together all those hidden tales of Hannah's life? The funny ones, the silly ones, the heartfelt moments we were lucky enough to share with her.

Tickets cost £10 and all proceeds will go to LAFF to continue Hannahs legacy. There will also be a raffle to raise further funds, with some great prizes on offer for £3 a ticket.

Hannah loved life, people and celebrated the everyday miracles around us. We want this to be a moment where we can turn the tables and celebrate her and her legacy over the past ten years, the collective little miracles she continues to make happen in and around all of us. Together we can keep that legacy alive.

I very much look forward to seeing as many of you virtually as possible on the 26th July.

With love

Sarah OakesHannahs friend, founder and chair of LAFF.
