Rickshaw Group Newsletter May 2012
May is all about good news. In the northern hemisphere the weather is getting warmer, the flowers are blooming, and the sunshine brings smiles to the faces of people who have been missing it during the winter. In East Africa, the weather will soon turn cooler, offering a reprieve to those of who have endured the last few months of stifling heat. The beautiful weather in May, June and July is welcomed by tourists, who visit East Africa during these months to witness firsthand the migration of the wildebeest - a breathtaking phenomenon that happens only once a year, and only in this part of the world. So with the turn in the seasons, use this as an opportunity to do something nice for yourself and someone else in May. Bake a cake to share with family and friends. Plant a tree to revive a field. Ride a bike. Hug someone. We at Rickshaw are going to make the month of May a "Feel Good Month". What will you do this month to feel good?
