Success thanks to you
23 01 2008Thanks to everybody who contributed, I have great news.
Last week the cash was sent to Hagan and he has paid his Uni fees for the year. It took me quite a while to convince Western Union that Hagan wasn’t the nephew of a late great uncle who was trying to smuggle $68 billion dollars from the country, or that he was somebody I met on a dating site.
After that little hurdle I got this
And then I spoke to Hagan on the phone to confirm he got the cash and was all paid up for the year. Amazing. It would have been possible without you (just about) but then I wouldn’t have been able to share this with you.
To all who contributed Hagan told me send his ‘Greetings’ from Accra and a massive, massive thanks. Consider yourself stakeholders in his happiness.
Sorry for the lack of updates by the way, I have been working abroad.
Next up, I will be working out what to do with this site for the next year as I am sure we don’t need a year to raise next year’s cash!
Finally, some words of wisdom from a friend at work today…..
‘If you snooze…..you lose.’

Hey Jon
This is great news!! Here’s hoping Hagan enjoys every second of his uni experience
Hey JB,
I have just read all of your updates over the past few months and I just want to say well done and congrats on coming out of a tricky situation in style. Well done to everyone who donated as well and hopefully this could be a small step in the right direction for the likes of Hagan.
Matt
Great news, Jon. Listen, can you ask Hagan if he’ll put me up for the African Cup of nations? I’ll be on the first flight out tomorrow…
I wish.
Hey Matt, Jim, Jay - cheers for the words of encouagement. Hagan is over the moon. It’s January and I got promoted yesterday and now I am off to join the gym. It’s all good.
No snoozing from me… hard as I try; Small contribution sent to your fund towards next years funds. Every penny helps as they say; if there is anything more I can do to help with funding then please let me know. Wishing you well. Sappho
