i would like all readers , to read neil catills blog , as it high lights a great gesture , by one of our team bek keat and her friend and european champion , nicola spirig
who privided the funds , to build a proper fresh water facility for a school .
the story unfolded , when i visited an island in sth phillipines to look over the bsi triathlon program .
while visiting the area , we visited a childrens school built on donations for the local underpriveledged kids be tween 5 to 10 who do not qualify for the local school .
on visitng , it was obvious that the kids loved their school , and teachers , but one of the enduring problems was fresh water as , all types of pumping mechanics , either didnt work or dissapeared very quickly ,
living in the country areas of australia , presented coach with the ideal solution , a gravity fed water catchment tank , it bothered me for the rest of the afternoon ,
i emailed 2 of our squad about the predicament and that , the founder of the bsi , could oversee the work would get done .
with in a week nicola and bek teamed up with a cash donation , and 30 kids now have clean running water in their little school ,
id like to publically thank them for the genorosity , in both spirit and donation .
you have indeed made a very positive contribution to some not so fortunate children
thank you so much for your help .
