“The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.”
― J.M. Barrie, The Little White Bird
Join us in our adventure for fund raising!
We are 16 young people (and a teddy!!!) from 10 countries and 4 continents! Most of us have never met before but we were brought together by one desire: making a dream come true!
On the 25th of August we all skydived together to raise funds for my mission in India. Our skydive took place at the North London Skydiving Centre. None of us had done it before. We were all overwhelmed by mixed emotions: fear, excitement, happiness. But most important, we became friends, we have created a strong bond and have shared wonderful moments together. Now we are closest friends, we speak daily and spend all weekends together, organising trips and meetings. It's incredible how this skydive brought us so close together! Without even knowing me, when I have asked them to help me they replied "We will definitely do this with you, all it takes to help you follow your dream!" I am so lucky and blessed!
We all arrived there the evening before the jump as we wanted to spend some time together. We were offered a place to camp and a common room where we played guitar, sang, played games and had an amazing evening together!
In the morning we registered and had a short training. We were all very excited! When it was time to jump we cheered and encouraged each other, happy that we were doing it together. I couldn't ask for better people to do this with!
I also took my teddy in the air with me (as seen in the photo). Piggy travels everywhere with me and has photos around the world. I have to thank the skydiving centre for being supportive about it! :)
The people working there, especially the instructors and camera men, were very helpful, explained everything and encouraged us throughout the day, which was a blessing for those who were worried as none of us had done it before.
The group hug after we all landed was one of the best feelings ever! We all showed courage and courage is what I need when leaving to another continent to live a different life and serve others without expecting anything back.
We are happy to have our families and friends support but we also need yours! Make a donation to help this dream come true, encourage us in our fund raising!
Be part of our experience! We need you!
