HAPPY FIRST ANNIVERSARY WAFRIC

I cant believe as I type this how far we have come. It seems like yesterday that I founded WAFRIC. Today, we are 1 year old and still going. As I write this, I think of the journey I have travelled through the year. It has been challenging, educative and ofcourse fun. I have met many incredible people some of whom I have had the honors of worked with. WAFRIC developed from being an I organisation to a WE organisation, weeks after being founded. This showed me how many people out there were looking to make a difference. I must say that I was deeply touched and astonished at our turn out this year during our first conference. From the 28 delegates we had during our introductory dinner last year in December to about 60 delegates, with 5 countries represented, during our 1st conference this year.

I shall forever be grateful to Liz Clark, Trish Beckman and Michelle Bassanessi for the opportunity they gave me to attend that conference in September 2008. Without this opportunity, I still wonder if WAFRIC would ever have been born. And there are no other words that can describe this better but the Zulu saying that says, 'A person is a person through other people' . So thank you!

We at WAFRIC would like to thank you all who have been with us through this past year, the new ones who have joined us along the way and to those who will be joining us in the near future.

Thank you for all your support and believe in US!!

Happy First Anniversary WAFRIC!!!
