St. Lucia & iSimangaliso Wetland Park | Overlanding South Africa | Matches on the Map Ep.05

On Episode 5 of the Matches on the Map expedition: We arrived in St. Lucia on the 27th of October 2023. God planned out a beautiful surprise that shook us again. My friend and foe – Fanconi Anemia, is a rare and devastating journey for some that walk this earth. In the hopes of sharing our project with the St. Lucia community we reached out for a place to park. African Dreamz - St Lucia - Bed and Breakfast opened up a space and opened up their hearts. We sat down for coffee the next morning and chatted away. Our hosts were interested in what led us on this journey and we shared a chapter. We were stunned to learn that they had lost two young daughters to Fanconi Anemia some years earlier. This unplanned and unexpected bond could not have been better orchestrated, and resulted in this community coming together to set up educational talks and recruitment drives at every given opportunity!
After our recruitment drives, The Ocean Grill Restaurant St Lucia spoiled two lucky individuals with a R500 voucher each, for signing up as donors. They also gave us some much-needed used cooking oil to fill Betsy's tank!
Thank you Lindi Vd Merwe from Ponta Lucia Surf & Beach Shop for all your effort on such short notice!
We have met some amazing people🙌🏻 and were blessed beyond measure throughout our visit! Thank you for your support, St. Lucia. You have shown us LOVE!
