Thank you Clause and Michael from Germany for their generous donation to Put Foot! We met them at Ndhovo River Lodge in Namibia while sitting on the deck looking out onto the beautiful Okavongo River! One of the greatest things about this rally has been meeting cool people along the way, from all over the world who love Africa as much as we do!

Ze Germans

As you have probably noticed…we have been a little quiet on posting and updating you on our progress in the Put Foot Rally. This is due to a number of factors including limited internet connectivity and endless hours on the road but mostly due to the dangerous nature of what we are doing. We are really putting our bodies on the line in the name of charity and ask you to show your support by making some danger donations to Abraham Kriel. If we don’t make it out alive we need to at least know that it was worth it. To illustrate just how dangerous it has been check out some of the signs we have encountered.

Elephant…just in case the sign is not clear

Bat eared Fox or Wild dog…or both

Kudu (presumably this sign is referring to all antelope otherwise they don’t care for Impala much)

Cow – these are everywhere and probably warrant a sign

oh…we were obviously just kidding about it being dangerous…Namibia has been nothing but hospitable and we have never felt unsafe…and also expect a string of posts as we have just arrived at Protea Hotel Livingstone and have some rapido wifi! Oh…and this place is insane…a little Zambian Oasis!

Thank you once again to Novare for sponsoring our first stage through Namibia

We have just got in another string of very generous donations. Check out the list below. We will make specific fuss of everyone as soon as we get back into less remote areas where the interweb streams around in more abundance. Thank you to everyone though who has been donating while we have been dragged by Kevin the rally car around places like Etosha National Park – tough…very tough out here.

We will do a tally soon and post a more current total for funds raised!

More Funds Just In

That is another R10 000 for Abraham Kriel! We would like to thank, profusely, Terebinth Capital (Pty) Ltd for their very generous donation!

Our goal was to raise R50 000 to help out Abraham Kriel but when the ball is coming off the bat so sweetly you might as well keep trying to hit 6′s! We are ridiculously excited to let you know that we have now officially got to our century (scored at record pace)! The talk is that it is a flat pitch and that we might be in for a while. Keep an eye out for more incoming runs…I mean funds.

Funds Raised

We have just received another R10 000 corporate donation which brings our fund raising total to:

Humbling

We have a few channels through which funds are directed towards Abraham Kriel. The easiest way to make a secure donation is to go via the Given Gain project we have loaded. You can access this directly by clicking on the donation link below. If, like some of these other glorious and generous people, you would like to donate directly to Abraham Kriel please do! We don’t care how the money gets to AK, as long as it does and the kids get the support they need.

We have now raised a total of R61 650 across these various channels! Woohooooo!

With our stage sponsorship’s all tied up it is now time to start focusing on getting as many donations as we can to help out the kids at Abraham Kriel Children’s Home. We have have had some very generous donations from “the man in the street”. Our GivenGain donation page is currently registering R5650 which brings out total to R45,650!

While this is so many kinds of awesome we want you to help us blow our target of R50 000 out of the proverbial water! Donate now! We bet you can’t!

We have filled all of our stage sponsorship’s! We would like to send out a massive thank you to these four very generous companies that have donated R10,000 each to help out the kids at Abraham Kriel Children’s Home! It has been very humbling to see how quickly these companies jumped at the opportunity to get involved. We would never have imagined being at the R40,000 mark for our The Put Foot Rally initiative this early on in the game.
