Project Albert
maintains a commitment to relieve poverty
and sickness, to encourage the education of children and young
people and to assist the underprivileged people of Kenya by
purely practical means.
In the pursuance of our aims, we have had
the pleasure of formulating strong relationships with, 'Bridging
the Gap' and the 'Africa Exchange', bonds which have the potential
to become even stronger, with prospects for the future being
very bright indeed. Apart from the concept of building more
much needed bridges and clinics for the poor and marginalised,
the vision of constructing a string of schools for both the
Maasai and Pokot people is both a real and achievable objective.
The new friendship established between Project
Albert and ‘Lights for Learning’ has already produced results
in that 2 schools will soon benefit from having solar powered
lights to learn by, and work will continually be sought and undertaken
in the slum communities of Nairobi. I have forgotten how many
times I have fended off ill-targeted skepticism about taking
on ambitious tasks with only a limited depth of either expertise
or skill.
By virtue of its nature, the Royal Air Force fosters
initiative and objectivity in a way that no other organisation
does. It has certainly been my experience that a will to succeed,
whatever the task or lack of resources available, always, always
brings results. When surrounded by such motivated people, Project
Albert can continue to do extraordinary things to help those
less fortunate, whilst simultaneously enlightening its participants
to the ways of the world along the way, and that’s pretty
good too. The physical work undertaken this year will benefit
a lot of people for many years to come. It is a fact that through
it’s activities Project Albert has certainly alleviated
suffering and saved countless lives as well.
The key to Project Albert’s continued success is really
a very simple one, money. There are several fundraising initiatives
already underway at RAF Lyneham and as a consequence we are
optimistic about attaining Project Albert’s financial
targets, certainly over the next 18 months. Active, enthusiastic
people are giving their time to innovatively generate funds
for future Project Albert ventures. If you brush with them,
please give them your support. If someone offers you a Project
Albert Christmas Pudding or some other piece of Project Albert
paraphernalia, please buy one, at least now you know where
your money is going.
