July is here, and I hope you all enjoyed a happy Canada Day.
Most members will be going on some hard earned Rest and Relaxation (assuming you can get the time off). I hope that you will have a great time connecting with family and friends, and just getting away from the incredible demands that the system you work for puts on you. Recharge the batteries, remind yourselves that there is more to life than work.
I am heading out for the adventure of a lifetime which has been dubbed ‘Ride for Africa’ www.rideforafrica.org, in support of a local group named ‘Hands Across Africa’ . I will be joining an intrepid group of adventurers to climb Africa’s tallest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro, in July, and while we are at it, to raise funds for two grassroots projects. One is a rehabilitation centre in Sierra Leone, which has been helping the victims of the terrible civil war, in which rebels chopped off limbs of civilians – men, women and children. The second is the Amani home for street children in Moshi, Tanzania, which provided a roof, food, and vocational training to children who have no other means of support.
Two adventurers, Axel and Mike, are already underway, having started their trek on motorcycles at the Glenrose Hospital in Edmonton on April 20. Hence the name Ride for Africa. The rest of the group will connect with them in Moshi, at the foot of the mountain, and on July 17, I hope to make it to the summit.
Hands Across Africa was started by a group of Health Professionals who are also members of HSAA. Some of them worked as volunteers in Africa, and that was the motivation to do more. They work in partnership with Change for Children, a registered charity that looks after the administrative details. This is the second organized climb of Kilimanjaro, and in total, Hands across Africa has raised over $120,000since 2005. I am thrilled to be joining this year’s effort, which is made all the more meaningful by the fact that it is initiated by HSAA members.
Many thanks to our amazing staff and our board of directors. You are in good hands in my absence.
With luck I will make it to the top, and hope to take a picture with the HSAA flag!
Wishing all of you a fabulous summer!
Elisabeth
