26th November, 2011 To Our Wonderful Supporters, It is with gratitude to you, mixed with our sadness, that we announce the closing of Barefeet International. A range of factors have influenced the decision to wind-up Barefeet, including government red-tape and time pressures on the Board of Directors. We are so grateful to you, our faithful supporters, for the contribution you have made to Barefeet and supporting us in our mission to help create sustainable communities. We are proud to have been able to help create sustainable projects in communities in both Tanzania and India in the few short years we have been running Barefeet. In that time, a total of $10,726 has been raised and distributed to The Second Chance Education Centre in Tanzania and The Academy of Root Development, India. THANK YOU. We still have a number of cards available for sale; these cards have a picture on the front and are blank inside – they can be used for any occasion. We would like to sell them before we finalise our accounts so that the money can be distributed between The Second Chance Education Centre and The Academy of Root Development. The cards are available for $1 each or a pack of 10 cards for $8. Please contact michosullivan@optusnet.com.au for more information. Thank you for helping us work towards our goals; be sure to keep giving generously to other grass roots organisation which are doing similar work. Just because Barefeet no longer exists, do not let yourselves believe that poverty does not exist. Each of us from the Board will be continuing to find new ways of supporting the vulnerable people of our world.
With sincere thanks, Barefeet says farewell! Jo O’Sullivan, Michelle O’Sullivan, Kerrie O’Sullivan, Vince Polito & Maja Frolich The Barefeet Team
