How You Can Be Part of This…..
Sponsorship & Supporters

"OEC are the builders of the Azalai and sole British importers of the pods from France.Anton and his staff (notably Paul and Martin) are extremely knowledgeable and creative, and this coupled to their diligence and obvious pride in their work has contributed to a great customer experience for Rachel and I. We have every confidence that the Azalai will be the perfect vehicle for The Indlovu Trans Africa Drive."
"This sub site of OEC provides details of the Azalai history and options. There are lots of photos, stats, video links all illustrating the potential of this amazing vehicle. We are particularly lucky that the conversions are all done locally too."
"Roger Young Land Rover Ltd of Saltash are another local company that have given us really good service and a generous deal on the 130 base vehicle. Thanks to Anthony and his staff for their help."

Thanks to Denise Walker for a great donation to www.motivation.org.uk - as a fellow Africaphile she can be reassured that it will help Motivation in working with TATCOT and the Pan Africa Wheelchair Association (PAWA) to provide technical and capacity building support to wheelchair services and to promote the professionalisation of services.
"The Injured Players Foundation at the RFU have developed into a fantastic organisation since their humble but ambitious beginnings as 'SPIRE'. They have provided injured players and their families with much help and peripatetic support, self and Rachel included. They made a generous grant that was used to contribute to the £10k disabled adaptation costs to make the Azalai both accessible and driveable for me."
"Thanks to Dan Tisdall and his staff for taking on the task of coordinating our sponsorship campaign. Together with Dan we are continually wracking our brains to think of people who might be interested in supporting the trip and in return securing a sticker advert on the Azalai van. The vehicle is pretty distinctive and will be driving around the area for a while before we leave, so we hope that there will be some real benefit for companies willing to support us this way. Please be nice to him when he phones!"
"Peter Gratton-Davey and Charlie Wakeham at Torbay Blinds have kindly agreed to fabricate a banner for us. As you will see from our Events page, we are planning a fair number of events to raise both funds and awareness of the work of Motivation. We also hope to do some sessions in schools and with other philantrophic organisations - so the banner should help us look the part! Thanks to all at Torbay Blinds."
"Thanks to Trish and Dave Smith at the Bickley Mill who have pledged to host two fundraising events. A Fish Cooking Demo and Lunch (likely 22/23rd Nov tbc) and a Wine Tasting Evening on 22nd January 2011 – if anyone has any raffle prizes for these or other events then please do get in touch with me 07778 547119 or email. More details to follow but please put the dates in your diaries."

Cora Dobbie has made a fantastic donation to Motivation – equating to another wheelchair for someone in the developing world. It also adds to Motivation’s 20th Anniversary £500 000 Campaign, “Wheels Out of Poverty” which our Azalai Land Rover,  Indlovu Trans Africa Drive is specifically supporting. Thanks Mum in Law X  
"Dave Latham and Dean at Riviera Signs are helping us with the stickers and logos (including making sure we have optimum sizes). They are also printing the Banner for us. Thanks Guys, having your expertise is a great help to us in this area."
"Paul Gowen at the RAC has something of a 'Mr Carnet' reputation in the overland community - and we can see why. He has been a fountain of knowledge and has literally saved us thousands of pounds as a result. It is good to see someone as enthusiastic and helpful in the corporate world of today - he is a credit to the RAC."
"Brendon Prince, TBGS P.E. Teacher has indicated that he'd like to make our 'venture his House fundraising cause for the coming academic year. We're really excited about this, as I can't think of a single school subject that isn't relevant to a project such as this. Brendon's pledge adds a bona-fide vocational element to the project too. Hopefully we can reach out to more schools as well. Thanks in advance to TBGS."
