Coming soon… A Friend of Pakati speaks!

Hi everyone, I hope all is well with you!

I have just come off the phone with someone who has been a very loyal & active supporter of Friends of Pakati – a lady called Sharlom Chaitika.

Sharlom has been involved in the background, & here is a link to a post we did about her sometime ago… https://friendsofpakati.com/2021/06/01/meet-our-first-regular-donor-sharlom-chaitika/

It has been a while since I last spoke with her, and we have had a good long catch-up. She continues to donate regularly – please let me know if you can also do that – and clearly intends to do so for the foreseeable future.

We discussed what Friends of Pakati have been doing, which she was delighted to keep up with as we delivered the 20 computers to Pakati schools in 2024. She asked about our current plans & I spoke about our fundraising need for power & wi-fi this year.

Sharlom also talked about her own plans, as she is starting up her own project – this will be what the next blog will be about. It is very likely we will have a podcast/vlog to add to our growing collection too!

So please keep an eye out over the coming weekend…
