DAY THIRTY

Hester V.



Yes, I know - she's looking a little hairy today!

 

 

Hester is a Doctor, Mother of 5 (a set of twins in the mix), Wife and Philanthropist/Charity Founder and Director, and yet she was too shy to have her picture taken. (She’s actually beautiful!) Hence, the lovely picture of her dog – Baloo! Truly sweet dog – truly adorable name… By the way, the cat's name is Bagheera - LOL!

Hester and I weeded her garden and chatted ourselves into a frenzy. Although we worked our buns off, there was still much to do, as she has a beautiful big property.

 

    

Although there is much to say about Hester, I do want to tell you about the amazing work she does in and for her charity.

Hester formed a charity to help the people of Zimbabwe.Below I have actually lifted their mission statement to give you a better and first hand understanding of what she/they do.

 

"Hear Africa Foundation is a volunteer-run organization working to create sustainable solutions to the issues of poverty, social support, health care, education and infrastructure development in Zimbabwe.We facilitate a practical response to these matters while paying special heed to the cultural context and the sensitivities of Zimbabweans.

Our mission is to raise financial support in Canada while working with the people of Zimbabwe to ascertain and respond to specific humanitarian needs, with the long-term view of developing local sustainability.We believe that relief of poverty will occur with sustainable and humanitarian infrastructure investments, such as repairs to schools or provision of agriculture products."

 

Hester is tireless in her dedication to helping people and even next week is hosting their annual Golf Tournament at the Redwoods Golf Club.The day will be followed by a 3 course dinner at the Club.
 

If you are unable to support them in the tournament or dinner but you still wish to make a donation, please go to www.HearAfrica.com and you will find details on how to go about doing this under the "Make a Donation" tab.

 

 

Hester, I hope that your hand gets better, (she burnt her hand quite badly this morning on the stove) and I look forward to spending time again with you gardening - one day.:)
