Sure we can………

“Sure we can” is the new TNT strap line that was launched mid September. When I first saw it on the side of one of our delivery vehicles I could only but think about what negative banter that both customers and even staff would come out with for this strap line. “Sure we can lose your parcel” “Sure we can deliver it late” things like that. I thought it was a silly strap line to be honest. But after a bit, I changed my view on this strap line and, it all made really good sense to me. “Sure we can” sums up TNT very nicely.

On Thursday 12th March I visited the Swazi Wellness Centre at Oshoek, near Mbabane, the border between Swaziland and South Africa. The Swazi Wellness Centre at Oshoek was setup with a partnership between Chevron and North Star Foundation back in September 07. Chevron is the sponsor for this centre and has committed to its running costs and has even hosted it on its forecourt of the Caltex Service Station. The drivers, sex workers and local community benefit from this very well located centre.

The days are ticking down to when I leave to fly out to Rome. A little over 48 hrs and I will be at the airport to fly out to Rome. I am meeting up with people from WFP prior to the training with the School Feeding groups.

I have not even started to pack yet but what does one take for 6 months and that can not excead 20kgs - not a lot I would not think!
