It's been as while since I've had the opportunity to help out at a CRCL event, so it was nice to return to doing something with the group. It was great as always to see some familiar faces, a great way to boost group morale and get some work done. Returning members from the 08 group included myself, Rebecca and Tasha. Along side us were Russell, Jeff, Don, Mary, and some new faces, which I couldn't remember to save my life. Besides the usual selling of Tanzanian merchandise, our main job was to collect as many signatures as possible on our petition, spreading even more awareness than usual. I'm not sure of the exact number but we got around 400 signatures, which is good for a day's work. It was great to see that people weren't just signing the petition because they were asked to, people were genuinely concerned about our cause, many had seen the story in the paper. So we know we're doing something right.
Afro-ceilidh on Friday which should be a good one, everyone should be there! Then Don's BBQ is always a treat. But all the while, we know the Tanzanians should be here enjoying it with us.
