 LADPP Sponsored London walk - Yannia perez rumayor, volunteer

29/9/2014

It‘s a few days since LADPP’s sponsored walk, and as part of that journey I don’t want to miss the opportunity to tell you about the experience. A few weeks before, they had told me about the 'LADPP 10K London Walk', a walk to raise funds with employees, volunteers and supporters of the project taking part. I had no doubts in accepting the invitation, since, of course, I felt committed to the cause. Its mission is to help the Latin American community residing in London, especially those that are disabled. So how could I refuse? 
 
Finally the day arrived, a Saturday with a dismal weather forecast. Even so I was not going to be put off,
arriving in time to meet up with the rest of the group. The meeting point was at the Tower of London, right where we would begin our journey that morning.

The walk was led by representatives of the project who prepared a tour through the centre of London 
for us all. At each stage we were given a little of its history; St Paul’s Cathedral, London Eye and Buckingham Palace were some of the places we visited. 
We walked 10 kilometres, enchanted by the perfect mix of old and new. This city is an incredibly 
interesting place. From a personal point of view I can say that until then, I had not appreciated London as the great city which everyone talks about and which they so much adore. 

For our own satisfaction and for the benefit of the project in particular our objective was completed.
Through this walk LADPP was able to raise around £1000 via donations which have been invested in the purchase of basic items (laptops and similar things) with the objective of securing the basic operation of the project. We must thank so many people for their help and contribution throughout recent times. This
achievement is proof of that commitment.

For my part, I would like to thank LADPP for the experience and the opportunity to share it with such nice
people from so many different backgrounds. It is more than a month since I got to know about the existence of this project and since then I have become a volunteer. Latin American Disabled People's Project is an organisation that captivates through the magic of its enthusiasm and involvement; and believe me
that is something for which I am most grateful.

 LADPP London walk 2014 - Yannia Perez Rumayor, voluntaria

Hace algunos días ya de la caminata con los chicos de LADPP, y como parte de esa jornada no quisiera dejar de comentarles acerca de mi experiencia.
 
Semanas antes me habían comentado de lo que sería el 'LADPP 10K London Walk', una caminata con el objetivo de recaudar fondos en la que estarían participando trabajadores, voluntarios y simpatizantes del proyecto. No dudé en aceptarlo, pues lógicamente me siento comprometida con su causa. Su misión es asistir a la comunidad latinoamericana residente en Londres, especialmente a la comunidad deshabilitada. Entonces, cómo negarme?
 
Finalmente llegó el día, un sábado con muy mal pronóstico del clima. Aun así no me limitaría en el intento de llegar a tiempo para encontrarme con el grupo. La cita era en The Tower of London, justo donde comenzaría el recorrido esa mañana.
La caminata estuvo guiada por los representantes del proyecto, quienes prepararon un tour por todo el centro de Londres. A cada paso, un poco de historia. El St. Paul’s Cathedral, London Eye y el Buckingham Palace fueron algunas de las visitas obligadas.

De  esta forma conformamos un recorrido de 10 kilómetros encantados con la perfecta mixtura de lo antiguo y lo moderno. Esta ciudad es un lugar increíblemente interesante en su esencia misma. En el plano personal me gustaría decir que hasta entonces, no había visto a Londres como la gran ciudad de la que todos hablan y a la que tanto adoran.

Para satisfacción nuestra y beneficio del proyecto en particular, se cumplió el objetivo. Con esta caminata, LADPP logró reunir alrededor de 1000 libras en calidad de donaciones, los que se han invertido en la compra de medios básicos (computadoras portátiles y otros) con el objetivo de garantizar el funcionamiento de la organización. Gracias al apoyo y la contribución de muchas personas quienes, a través de todo este tiempo, se han sensibilizados con la causa. Este logro es una prueba de ello.

Por mi parte, gracias a LADPP por la experiencia y la posibilidad de poder compartir con gente muy linda y de muchas latitudes. Hace más de un mes que conocí de la existencia de este proyecto y desde entonces me ofrecí para servir como voluntaria. Latin American Disabled People's Project es una organización que cautiva con la magia del entusiasmo y la integración; y créanme que se agradece.
