Ahmed and the team HUG LONDON!

30/10/07

Hello Again,

Another week, gone so fast.

This week was a little different, on Saturday, members of the Breathe team went along to central London and we all got involved in handing out free HUGS!, yep that’s correct, free hugs for all. We gave out free balloons and wore our BREATHE t-shirts, all very fancy which is why I think we had a very good response, which was still pretty surprising really, as I thought people may have ignored us or given dirty looks…actually we did get that...just a little! Well apart from that everything went well, if you haven’t yet had the chance to see the pictures on the site, then make sure you do!, also check out the Video, we had a great time and I’m sure we made many peoples day!

Well got a lot of work to do, so better get on with it…..

Until next time,

Ahmed.

Hello...if you haven’t heard my voice on air yet…well you don’t know what you’re missing!

I’ve been asked to write this blog (in between my busy schedule of running about interviewing and of course eating), by the way trying to collect as many freebies as possible plays a big part in my job.( ha ha).

On Sunday as part of my report for Volunteering, I dragged myself early early out of bed, as much as I didn’t want to get up, my passion for the project (and the fact that Steve may have a few things to say if I didn’t turn up to do it) kept me going. I’m glad to say that actually it was a very interesting event. It was a good thing I knew the local area of Beckton, as I found many people had difficulties finding the park. After a cup of tea (which I must add was free), I got involved in talking to the co-ordinators of the event and volunteers that were taking part, apart from the extremely chilly morning, it seemed to go fine (so I think anyways), I even ended up planting a few bulbs which I hope will actually grow in the spring...well I’ll go back and check. Time went fast and pretty soon it was lunchtime so with a free burger from the barbecue and a free goody bag I was happily on my way home.

If you enjoyed reading this and want to take me out to eat somewhere, get in touch...as I do feel hungry quite often. Thank you for your understanding!

Breathe…….no that’s it...Breathe ok?!

See you all next week

Ahmed.
