Running for Nana

Hello everyone, it's that fundraising time of year again!

I'm running the Melbourne marathon (42km!) on October 15th to raise money for Nana, my friend living in Ghana who wishes to become successful in his career as a computer software engineer.

For those of you who know me know that I have been helping Nana now for over five years now.
For those of you who don't know me as well, I'll give you a little more info.

Nana and I got to know each other while working for an NGO in Ghana back in 2012. We spent a lot of time hanging out during my stay and became pretty good mates by the time my visa was up.
Soon after my departure, Nana was accepted into university but was unable to pay his tuition fees. This was because of the terrible labour wages and no government support.
Naturally, I offered to help him and have continued to do so over the past five years. I have helped him to complete his Bachelors in Computer Science and Engineering with my own contributions and additional fundraising.
We continue to communicate regularly thanks to Facebook and other social media platforms.

So to all of you lovely people, I'd just like to say thank you 100 times over for showing your support, whether it be by donating money or just sharing kind words with both Nana and me over these past years.

You'll all be happy to hear that Nana is currently employed in a company which specializes in computer software, database and programming support.

He is in the process of completing his internship and has his eyes set on full-time employment as an associate software engineer. Full time employment will assist him financially as well as provide him with more experience in his field.

His competencies include software coding, C++, PHP (a programming language), web development, framework development (laravel) and mobile application development (phonegap).
....none of that made sense to me either.

We're aiming to reach a goal of $1000 so just go on and throw a few gold ones at us!
Your thoughtful contribution will go towards Nanas continuous professional development, occupational resource costs and much needed family support.

All of your support is greatly appreciated, no matter how you show it.

If you have any questions regarding our endeavours please contact me (Oliver) via mobile or email.
