Imake a Difference's Supporters Trip to South Africa 2014 - Day One

DAY ONE:

As you may remember last year when we launched Imake a Difference we sold Supporter Packs to raise money for our charity. When purchasing a Supporter Pack, buyers went in the draw to win a trip for two to South Africa.

And guess what, today is day one of this trip!

The lucky winner of the trip for two was Alister Van Mil, the owner of Home Brew West, one of Imake's New Zealand retailers. His sister Andrea was chosen as his travelling companion, isn't he a lovely older brother?!

As well as this, we also provided Imake staff the opportunity to venture off to South Africa. Any employee who helped with the charity in their spare time received an entry into the draw. We had a number of entries, it was great to see the staff getting stuck in and sharing the same passion towards the cause as our Managing Director Peter Eastood. The lucky winners of this draw were Ingrid Allsop, our Design Manager, and myself. I was ecstatic when I found out I was one of lucky people to go! What an opportunity! I knew I couldn't miss this… An opportunity to see first hand the projects Imake a Difference is supporting and see game up close and personal, s**t yeah!!!

As I sit on the plane now from Sydney to Johannesburg, I wait patiently for the excitement to start. Very patiently indeed as it is a 14 hour flight and all, finding it hard to sleep as I can't wait for this trip of a life time to start.

Will be in touch again once we get to Durban. Keep an eye out for more details of our 12 day adventure.
