09/05/12 Raft Race for Rupees
On May 24th GVI Seychelles volunteers and staff will be
holding what may quite possibly be the greatest event of all time! The ‘Raft
Race for Rupees’ will push each individual contestant to the limit, requiring
the kind of ingenuity not seen since the A Team decided to go into hiding in
the Los Angeles underground for the very last time!
Over the next two weeks the four teams will be stockpiling an
arsenal of empty soda bottles, pieces of wood and bits of old rope with a view
to constructing a vessel fit to sail the seven seas (or at least make it around
Baie Ternay).
The rules are simple; each team has to finish the course, pausing
briefly at designated mooring buoys to complete various missions and finishing
together, hopefully accompanied with what remains of their craft. Oh, and did I
mention it is in fancy dress?
The race will be followed by a traditional Creole beach BBQ, with
music, dancing and the traditional game of beach volleyball.
All proceeds generated by the event will directly benefit the
President’s Village Children’s Home, and will be used to purchase much needed
clothes, books and trips away for the children. So dig deep and visit our
justgiving site for what is no doubt going to be an eventful day!
