If someone suggested flying cows from the UK to Africa to assist in a time of extreme famine, you’d be forgiven for thinking it was too crazy an idea – and what’s more would it even be possible?
If ever there was a reason to see that thinking outside of the box, or perhaps the field, and to ignore naysayers, the charity Ripple Effect is an absolute inspiration.
So we’d like to introduce you to Catherine Harris, Interim Corporate Partnerships Manager at Ripple Effect. As a corporate supporter, we at Raising the Baa are forever grateful for Catherine’s help, guidance and gratitude for our partnership.
In this slightly different to usual podcast you will hear about:
– the origins of Ripple Effect in the 80s and how it has evolved since
– a little about the incredible work they do in rural communities in Africa
– the ways in which Raising the Baa supports the charity
– how the charity is dealing with the impact of Covid, both in Africa and the UK.
Catherine also tells us about their fabulous virtual activity campaign Relay for Hope . If you, with your team if you like, fancy a virtual tour of Africa from Ethiopia to Zambia, pick up the baton and get registered today! It’s easy to take part and a great way for teams to feel connected whilst they are scattered, away from their communal workplace.
Naturally we also discuss how the Ripple Effect team ticks, the challenges they face and how they overcome them.
Enjoy this episode – and thank ewe for listening 🙂
