The artisans catch some rays while developing their own mission statement

The G.R.O. Team (our staff, members and board) traveled to the mountains on July 17 for their annual team retreat.  Its the middle of winter here, so it was cold!  The artisans came prepared wearing their Basotho blankets, as the rest of us huddled under the heater.

The purpose of our retreat this year was to focus on a mission and vision for the organization, inclusive of our different projects.  Each project wrote their own mission and vision statement after a tutorial from Programs Manager, Rethabile.  Afterward, we joined together and created the mission for G.R.O. Lesotho.  It was a great team experience and way to build a collective vision as we move forward.

The mission of G.R.O. Lesotho is:  “to bring positive change to vulnerable local communities by providing hope, empowerment and support.  We do this through involving inspired people, hand in hand, to provide tools, resources, and training at the grassroots level, ultimately leading to long-term growth and sustainability of our locally-inspired projects”.
