AUSSIE KIDS DELIVER ‘THE SPIRIT OF CRICKET’ |
|
Late last year grade 6 students from St. Ignatius Primary School located in Toowong, Brisbane, Australia presented Brink with a cheque for $175 to help purchase cricket equipment for an Arawak Indian community met during the South American leg of the Brink Expedition 2003. Well it has taken us a while but now we have gathered the rest of the money required and purchased a big bag of kit to be sent to our friends at San Flaviano Km 46 in the southern jungle area of Venezuela. Ben recently went back out to St Ignatius Primary School to present the cricket equipment to some of the children involved in last year's fundraising effort, before freighting it off to Venezuela. We have informed our Venezuelan friends that the cricket kit is coming and they have sent us a very exciting mail. Here is a snippet: "Oh boy! We will have Christmas throughout the year. We are planning that if we get the cricket kit we will organise a match for next year's carnival. Tell everybody who collaborated that their help is worth millions. We at this end do not have enough to thank you for your help." - from Daniel & Dawn, community elders. Special thanks to Teresa McNamara, Denise Shaw, Carlie Driscoll and all the children at St Ignatius.
