Magriet takes over from Loël
After serving as Enlighten’s fundraiser for the past three years, Loël Ferreira has retired. She has been a great help to the Trust and has brought a wealth of experience and expertise to this position, together with a vast network of funders known to her and to whom she is herself known. Several international funders have supported our work as a result of being introduced to Enlighten through Loël. We are extremely grateful for the time, energy, effort and passion which she has given to Enlighten and will miss her greatly. We wish her a very happy retirement with time to do all those things for which there has been no time before.
A farewell tea was held for Loël and for Nico Ferreira who has retired as an Enlighten trustee. Sad as it was to bid these two farewell, we were delighted to welcome Magriet Peter to Enlighten as our fulltime fundraiser/financial administrator. Magriet has been managing a similar Trust in the Eastern Cape and brings the same knowledge and passion to the affairs of Enlighten. We hope that she will enjoy being a member of the team and that she will find the work both rewarding and fulfilling..
