Dear Friends and Family,

*update*

As you all know I call Cape Town my favourite place in the world. Every year I spend lots of time here. And now I came across this organization "Mellon Educate": what an amazing opportunity to make a positive impact. Inspired by the resilience of others, I've decided to join Mellon Educate's Building Blitz initiative this year in Cape Town in November for one week.

Together, we'll be building schools and enhancing educational programs in underprivileged townships across South Africa. Access to quality education is a fundamental right, and I believe this project will create lasting change for countless children (and for me!).

Building Blitz is a powerful initiative that brings volunteers together to construct schools within a week, train local teachers, and improve educational facilities for these communities. The impact of a safe and inspiring learning environment on a child's life cannot be overstated, and Mellon Educate's work is making a real difference.

I would be deeply grateful if you would consider supporting my fundraising efforts for this project. Every donation, regardless of size, will directly contribute to the Building Blitz program and provide essential resources for children in need.

To join this project, I have to raise 5.000 EUR, therefore I will raise 3.000 EUR here, my employer Google will match the amount so any contribution you make will have double the impact!!! :-)

[yes in the end I will hopefully be able to contritue 6.000 EUR to this great cause!!!]

Thank you for your support. I'm confident that together, we can make a real difference in the lives of these children.

Who's interested, I will give you an update on how it went in November.
