Our trip to Yangon last November was really a mission of answering to a call of help. There was no time for sight seeing or relaxation as most holidays would include, just pure hard work, as T1 learnt very quickly.
On Day One, we had gone shopping to buy the orphanages the dry goods (which is where we experienced a supermarket blackout!) and on this same day, we had to carry all the dry goods into storage at the hotel.
On Day Two, we had to transport all the boxes of clothes from Malaysia and the groceries from storage at the hotel down and into the truck.
T1 played her part. These boxes weighed between 10-17 kg each (I know because I had to weigh them all in order to meet Air Asia’s maximum weight requirements) filled with clothes and some with books and stationery.
.
By the time she carried the boxes from our bedroom (no lifts, it was a 2 storey hotel) to the lobby, the hotel staff were there ready to help her.
.
Next up, carrying groceries one by one from the hotel store room to the hotel lobby for loading into the truck.
.
Look at her go!
.
Tadaaaa!!! We did it!!! There was also Aunty Lyn of course helping build her muscles and hotel staff along the way. A great workout before a long day. To all of you who made time and effort to donate supplies and cash, below forms some of the stash that we brought to the homes. Along the way, we also bought bags and bags of rice.
.
And our first sight of the truck was, wow, it’s big and we have to climb it!
.
Quickly loading up the truck with our goods……the person who brought us to the orphanages was a bloke called Sam who is with Friends of the Children of Myanmar.
.
T1 got hauled up to help shift the goods around so we could actually have space to sit.
.
And off we went on our journey to meet the Children of Myanmar for the first time in our lives………with the look and a heart of determination.
.
And then suddenly, ouch, my hands actually hurt from all that carrying!
I’m so proud of my T1.
**************************************************************************Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.
Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.
She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.
A beautiful life without limits.
If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.
Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.
Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.












Well done T1. Good on you Patsy for instilling such wonderful qualities in your daughters.
