An update from Vanessa

Hi all!

Well, I'm back home in Sydney, Australia, after almost 2 months of travelling and spreading the truth about trust.

Here's a snapshot of what's going on in the International Movement of Trust:

Russia and Ukraine
We took a team of five, Vanessa Hall, husband Peter Draper, son Lachlan, Scott Cousins and Daniel Harris across to attend a camp in Samara, Russia, in July. The camp was run by the Kindness Foundation and throughout the camp we had the opportunity to engage with Russian children as well as to discuss and plan for the development and rollout of the Building Trust through Schools around the World Project, both for Russia and Ukraine.


South Africa
Wow! What an amazing response to the Truth about Trust tour in August. Anne lead the way, with input and assistance from Lillian and Brian to arrange an amazing 25 presentations and key meetings over three and a half weeks. Accompanied by April and Alison in the first week, the entente team produced an amazing result - a number of community projects to kick off, Monash University South Africa, Gordon Institute of Business Science, University of Potchefstrom all keen to be involved and track the impact of our work across various fields, not for profit groups wanting to become trained in trust to address major issues in society, churches wanting to roll out program in their youth programs.... The best thing to do is to watch this video.


Nepal and Jamaica
Dhiraj and Silpa Shrestha in Nepal and David Campbell and Wayne Gallimore in Jamaica are currently completing their training in the Truth about Trust and are also looking at bringing the concepts into their countries. Discussions are in the early days, so watch this space!
