I am almost at the halfway stage of my time in the UK office with what is now Ripple Effect, the new name for Send a Cow. The name, Send a Cow was a catchy name that reflects its heritage, but it no longer accurately reflects the organisation today or expresses the incredible impact that training farmers can have on their communities.
Tasks and Events with Ripple Effect
Since arriving at the beginning of May, I’ve been made to feel very welcome by everyone in the UK office, here in Newton St Loe. The Ripple Effect staff usually work in the office one day a week on a rota, however, I’ve enjoyed coming in to the office Mon-Thurs (Fri, the office is closed and we all work from home), meeting all the staff and getting to grips with the charity organisational structure and teams.
Over the last few weeks I have worked with various teams on reports for donors, scoping out online advertising platforms and represented Ripple Effect at one of their first in-person events, post-Covid, just to name a few.
I was delighted to spend part of the Jubilee bank holiday weekend representing Ripple Effect at Big Church Day Out. It was a privilege to enthusiastically share about the amazing work we do whilst raising awareness of the charity and the recent name change- we officially changed our name two days before the event!
We were also promoting our ‘Garden Twinning’ concept (click the link to purchase your garden twinning pack). For £60, you can twin your garden with a garden in our Enterprising Migori project based in rural Migori, western Kenya. As part of this, you will receive a garden twinning pack which includes a sustainable wooden plaque, whilst more importantly, you will be funding a family to receive training over 3 years on sustainable organic farming practices which could improve their food security, nutrition and income.
