Our time is now!

Wow what in incredible 2 weeks this has been! Last Wednesday we kicked off with our first fundraising effort's and man has it been an incredible ride in only seven days! We started off by selling soup to motorists at like 6:30am in the mornings had a successful day. But we realised soon enough that people were not so into soup so early in the morning and changed our product to Hot chocolate. We soon came to realise as well that the accumulating funds part was not the main thing but making people aware of what we do was more important! Since then we are in talks with getting live radio time on smile radio. A company has offered us free paint, a lady is currently negotiating with with her company and her husbands to get donations of things they don't need and the same lady got us to enter a competition where we are able to win up to R105 000! This is all in 7 days! Other unbelievable news is that on the same day that we started our Soup sales, 2 of our 3 ice hockey boys made the Western Province team! We will be traveling to Johannesburg in the beginning of July for a tournament. I am super proud of my lads, I knew they would adapt to ice very quickly but did not think that it would go this quick. I have been training with them in the early mornings. Three times a week I have been meeting them at 6am to go for a jog and some boot camp training. The boys are still unfit but they will be ready for the tournament. We will be selling hot chocolate again from Tuesday morning, 27th of May. You can find us by the traffic intersection on the corner of Roeland and Tennant Street!
