Hello
As you all probably know by now, CILIP's President Maggie Haines and Chief
Executive Bob McKee are both slimming down in aid of the Career Development
Group International Projects.
CDG's current International Projects are the sponsoring of a Voluntary
Service Overseas Librarian in Kampala, Uganda as an Office Manager for
Literacy and Basic Education (LABE). LABE aims at promoting literacy and
basic education for all in the fight against poverty. We are also
sponsoring the creation of a library for the pupils and teachers at
Tholifundo Primary School in Soweto, South Africa.
A progress weigh-in took place during CILIP Council on Tuesday, 14th
December. We would like to report that Maggie Haines weighed in at 66.6kg
(146.83 lb)- an stunning drop of 12.9kg (28.44 lb) since the start of the
slim on 21st October, and
Bob McKee weighed in at 93.5kg (206.13 lb) - also an excellent drop of
8.2kg (18.08 lb). Congratulations to both!
The next and final weigh-in is taking place on 31st January, so there is
still plenty of time for those of you willing to collaborate by sponsoring
Maggie and Bob and/or collecting sponsorship.
