Thank You for 2019

This year you played an essential role in improving the lives of at risk kids.

Thank you.

Have you participated in team building activities involving balloons? As part of our staff care we did an interactive team building activity about stress management. Each team wrote their main stressors on balloons and then one member started to bounce one balloon, keeping it up in the air. So easy when it’s one balloon! But as balloons were added the juggle became harder until it was unmanageable… and then the rest of the team were allowed to join in and help keep all the balloons up. This is teamwork!

You are in our team and without you we couldn’t keep all the balloons in the air. Flame identifies communities where kids are not in school but desperately want to be. We do what it takes to get those kids into school and walk the walk to keep them in school, engaged and loving to learn, and then we launch them into leadership, within their families, communities and beyond. It’s not just what we do, but who does it; our staff who work in the poorest communities with these kids and young adults are people who have come from abject poverty themselves. Who better to understand and empathise with these at risk kids than those who know it first hand themselves? This is Flame. And without you, we could not do what we do.
