Like Ash said in the previous entry, things are starting to come together a little more and it’s exciting to see. I don’t think, when I became a part of this chariity, that I had any idea what I was going into. I often don’t know what I want from the charity until we’ve done it; it’s like flying at full pace with your eyes shut. The difference is, we’re in control (famous last words!) in a less concious way. To continue the analogy, it’s ok to fly at full pace with your eyes shut if your a bat, you just need to realise your a bat. Crikey, that’s possibly the most rubbish explanation I’ve ever given to anything, but perhaps you get the idea.

I wish I could clearly verbally express what I think and feel about development, education and the charity, but I’ve not learnt how to do that yet. I wish I could even rationalise some things in my concious mind, fo some things exist only in the sub-concious. But although we, or at least I, can’t verbalise it properly, we do have one excellent way of telling people what we’re all about – it’s Educate for Life. Every action we take, every stone that is laid or book read is realisation of our elusive theories into positive action. So let’s hope positive action turns into positive outcome.

I spent the last three days sitting in on lessons, so I know understand a lot better where we are, and from taking to Ash a lot better where we are going, and what capacity we have to set realistic goals and challenges. We have a long way to go, but time is on our side and we’re in no hurry. We hope that the suggestions we make will be taken up and last generations, so what does a few years matter? I fear I’m starting to sound a bit airy-fairy, so I’ll leave it here. Don’t be put off by reading this post though, because we’re on the case in a very real and physical way, and dedicated to the task in a way that ceases to be dedication, and instead is a way of life. that’s how I feel, at least.
