Welcome 2015!

Well, 2015 is here! Happy New Year to you all!


There’s always talk at the beginning of a new year of starting new habits and setting New Year resolutions. The most common one of course is to ‘lose weight and get fit’!

Yet it’s a well-reported truth that at this time of year the gym gets busy with people who are full of good intentions but lack longevity! By mid-February, they’ve gone, the machines are free again and all goes back to normal!

And so, with that in mind, we haven’t made any New Year resolutions for Beyond Ourselves. We’re not about quick fixes or fads, we’re here for the long-term.  And so for us, in 2015, we’re going to keep on keeping on…

We’re going to keep on investing in the local teachers to improve teaching and learning at our partner schools
We’re going to keep on employing cooks to provide a meal for children every school day
We’re going to keep on developing social enterprises around each school to provide employment, training and profit
We’re going to keep on moving our partner schools towards sustainability
We’re going to keep on working with passion alongside local people to see their communities transformed and lives changed

And we’re going to keep on dreaming and daring to make a difference…

Thank you again for all the many ways your support has helped make the last few years happen. I can’t wait to see what we can do as we keep on journeying together through 2015!
