Happy New Year C.R.E.A.T.I.V

Yes, I know it is a little late as we are now in the 4th week of January, but C.R.E.A.T.I.V. took a little break after the Lagos book launch of 'Small Chops' on the 5th January. Trust me we needed it!!!

Lagos was hectic, hot, and we arrived in the middle of a fuel shortage (this amazes me as Nigeria exports oil). But apart from the craziness, the launch was a success. It took place on a nice warm evening (yes, mosquitoes probably chopped a lot of people), near a pool side. It was all pretty chilled out, as we introduced C.R.E.A.T.I.V., spoke about SOS Nigeria and had a reading from one of the writers, Chiedu Ifeozo until.... Our guests took over. They felt we hadn't given the book enough of a celebratory launch... so they did it for us, and in doing so, we raised more money from people pledging tens of thousands of Naira.

Quick preview: We raised approximately 2000 pounds. We will disclose the total amount at a further date when we have collected all donations.

So we have now had our first meeting of 2010, and there is a lot to be done!!!! We have big plans, and even bigger ideas, including a 24hr play, running the Majorca Marathon.... climbing Mt. Everest, changing to world to be a better place.... Ok, I am getting carried away, but without dreams and hopes where do we go?

HAPPY NEW YEAR WORLD!
