Through the week i attended a foundation evening with the ladies... I never liked this foundation, but the company that i work for support the foundation and us PA's have to be involved in organising some of the fundraising for the foundation and what not. The foundation ends up choosing different charities to help support through out the year and we have to help in the end raise money for that charity.
with my new promotion i have to support this foundation as well and be more involved in the fund raising... As the girl who has just left our company used to deal with it all. Anyway I ended up attending a ladies evening through the week and i went in with an open mind and thought this is a great thing - and its something exciting to be involved in.
So after a drink and some nibbles we ended up listening to some guest speakers for the charity and how this charity has helped change their lives. As a result I ended up having tears running down my face - I thought that it was so horrible some of their stories. But thought that it was also a fantastic look at inner strength and how it can get you through the most difficult tasks. I think I happened to be the only lady that had tears running down her face; but i was honestly really touched and hated the thought that visitors that come into our country can have such a hard time.
This weekend I'm putting together a proposal to put forward to my boss to get the company behind this charity and raise as much money as we can.
Fingers crossed because I really hope I can make a difference.
