The first pictures from one of our Ghana projects have come back to us and we’re SO super excited to see our kiddies playing on the equipment we were able to ship out earlier this year. The playground gets rotated around schools with no recreation facilities, (which means all of them in Kumasi!) and the rental monies earned goes towards our bigger project helping children with HIV and AIDS in the slum areas of the city.

BOOM!

We want to say a huge Thank You to Gerald and all at Cardiff PAT Test, who very kindly donated their services and did all our Portable Appliance Testing so we’re ready to go to all the festivals this summer!

Thanks Guys, you saved us a lot and were very lovely to boot.

If anyone needs to get any PAT testing done, here’s their website www.cardiffpat-test.co.uk

We want to say a huge thank you to Marc Heatley and Simon Clode at Widelode Ltd for this brand spanking new video. Thanks guys, it really is great!
It shows a small summary of what we do and some great footage of our current projects around the world. Have a look!

Wow! We’re blooming lucky, here in SAFEland! We’ve had more good will, this time from the little lovelies at Cymorth Cymru who have kindly donated to our work.

They raised money during the Promoting Independence Awards, which is an event to recognise all the hard work delivered by front line services in the Housing Related Support, Homelessness and supported living sector.

Thank you so much!

More massive shout outs go to the ZVM Rangoonwala Foundation who have made a generous donation to the work of The SAFE Foundation in Cambodia. Not only that – they’re bloomin’ lovely people, too!

Thank you so much Meheen and all the guys at the Foundation – we’re so grateful for your support!

Billions of thanks to The Africa Bridge Club, now called The Llansaltoch Bridge Club who have kindly donated to the work of The SAFE Foundation! Your generous support will be used towards our African ventures and will be helping children and families hugely!

Thank you!

The SAFE Foundation wish to say a MAHOOSIVE thank you to Liz and Kriss and everyone at the Akabusi Trust who kindly donated to our project in Ghana!

Although crushed with the knowledge that Kriss Akabusi DIDN’T say ‘AWOOOOGA’, as we thought, we’re still happy that he IS responsible for our other office favourite saying ‘AAAWWWWIIIIIGGGHHTT!‘, which funnily enough was our exact response with the news of their support.

We’re so grateful to them and are happy to have started a relationship with the trust that will benefit children in Africa in the future.

Thank you!

The SAFE Foundation want to express our deepest sympathy for all suffering in Haiti at this time. Although  disaster relief responses of this size are best left to the large aid agencies and governments with the capapbilities, we hope that if there is an opportunity to offer help in the near future, whether direct or indirect, we can.

So the end is in site for the first Ghana volunteer project and WOW are they feeling it!!

We have had blood, sweat, tears, fainting, mosquito mania, constipation, diarrhea, pulled/torn/strained muscles, bruises and more but every one has been worth the pain…

The school is nearly there and it is a such a joy to see everyone working together to make something special for the kids. This is a long term project and there are bundles of opportunities to work with the SAFE Foundation on lots of different projects here so watch this space.

We’ll be returning to the UK on Tuesday and I’ll upload some more pics and videos then but for now here are some of the beautiful people that we have met. These pics are taken by our new official SAFE photog – Dan Green/mr bean who is also volunteering on the project -thanks shorty!
