Message from Soraya, JCI London President 2015
Dear Friends,
It's amazing how a year can fly by and we are now finally in 2016!! Whoop Whoop!
The reigns have been officially handed over to Rafael Tselikas and his team.
I know that next year will be an 'extraordinary' one building on what we have achieved in 2015. It has been an honour to serve as President in 2015 and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the 'A-Team' (JCI London) council team for great year and memorable 12 months.
A few highlights from 2015:
· Building strategic partnerships with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Philanthropy Club, Funding Network, while continuing to support our long-term sponsor CET
· Maintaining strong international presence. Last year JCI London members attended European Capitals Meeting, European Conference, JCI Norway Leadership Academy, European Academy, European Know-How Transfer and World Congress in Japan.
· We re-invigorated our partnership with our Twin Chapters and hosted our Twinning Weekend.
· We launched our Adventure Race and raised £1,243.75 (incl. gift aid) for Kids Club Kampala, KIIDs Trust Varanasi and The Prince’s Trust!
· Our London to Ghana Project delivered 1,000 kids’ books for JCI ACCRA ROYALE 'Brighten you Corner project. We also won 'Best Long-term Community Development Project' at JCI UK National Convention in Barnsley.
The Team for 2016 has lot's in store and will exceed what has been achieved in 2015!
