MISSION TRIP TO LESOTHO: 8 - 10 August 2008

MISSION TRIP TO LESOTHO: 8 - 10 August 2008

Girlcub and TUFFSTUFF recently attended the Lesotho Outreach trip which was a great success!

The team of 5 "chicks" certainly showed the guys how its done! The roads proved to be quiet a challenge, but alas...WE DID IT!!!!

We had the most amazing time 4x4ing, sight seeing, 4x4ing, laughing and did we mention...4x4ing????

We arrived safely at our destination around midday on Saturday. The convoy of vehicles (which looked super hot by the way) unloaded all the contents which really made the community really happy! The 10 tonnes of cement will be used to build small dams to collect water as well as school and kitchen facilities.

Girlcub would like to give credit to the following:

Firstly, Slabbert from Cargo Commercial in Germiston, for his strength and 100% hardcore endurance! We are so amazed that you made it that far with the massive truck! Even though you were exhausted half way through the trip already, we admire your will to carry on and succeed in your mission!

TUFFSTUFF: A major sponsor! thank you so much for the fantastic stickers (They looked great on all the vehicles!), The free emergency evacuation (Thank-goodness we didn't need it), The accomodation for certain members on the trip as well as the great company!
