It’s always interesting for us to learn the various ways in which people have raised funds to support the work of Vision Africa. Recently, we heard of a company that used an annual sporting event to raise a fantastic sum of money and had a great day out in the process.
Millennium Consulting the Kent based Management Consultancy held their Annual Corporate Golf Challenge at the London Golf Club, Ash, Kent on Friday 2nd July raising £600 for Vision Africa the Kenyan children’s charity. Clear blue skies and temperatures reaching 27 degrees Celsius made for a memorable humid day in the beautiful Kent countryside.

The hot, humid conditions meant that post round refreshments in the Club house were particularly welcome and afterwards there was the opportunity to listen to one of the all time greats of world rugby – The All Blacks former captain Sean Fitzpatrick. The term “legend” is liberally applied to many sportsmen these days but in this case it is an appropriate description of someone who holds the record for the most Test matches as All Black captain (51) and who has played in more Test match victories (74) than any other player.
Sean entertained the audience with tales from down the years about some of the great players he had played with and against during his rugby career. His sporting anecdotes when applied to the goal of winning and achieving business and personal success provided some valuable lessons. His talk culminated with a rendition of the infamous pre match “Hakka” demonstrated with determination and the threatening menace that is the All Blacks hallmark.
Philip Keet, Millennium Consulting Managing Director thanked the players and emphasised that even during times of economic difficulty there are always people less fortunate, particularly in the African sub-continent and supporting them is our duty. Millennium Consulting is committed to supporting Vision Africa at every available opportunity.
We would like to thank Phil Keet and his team at Millenium Consulting as well as all those who took part in the event. Your generosity will be a great help to us as we continue to support projects that give brighter futures to disadvantaged children in Kenya.
