Thank you to the Students

I wanted to write this as a thank you to the other 5 who have put so much of themselves into this project to not only make it work, but make it work wonderfully.
Not one of these UBC students has ever asked for recognition, but they have each done so much to make this project amazing for these youth in Kibera, I wanted to say thank you.

Thank you Alia Somji for putting in more time than was physically available to meet deadlines.

Thank you Josie Wong for putting in so much extra effort than was ever recognized.
Thank you Sarah Malleson for always keeping us mindful of the bigger picture and always offering to do what she could to ease the burden of others.

Thank you Eiston Lo for adding a perspective that few of us had and doing what you could to meet the kiberan students requests.

Thank you Brittany Baum for tying up the millions of loose ends and working more hours on this then there are in the day.

There have been many organizations and individuals that have helped see this project come to its fruition, but the other 5 have never personally been thanked and so this email is to thank them for all of their time, energy, strength, blood, sweat and tears that they committed to this project to see it happen and grow.

I am so proud of all of you, and thank you for making this happen.
