Why should I donate?
Only you can answer this question, but an early lead donor has used the words:
“This donation is in recognition of all the fine work that has been done by past and current GCV members to build the organisation and infrastructure that allowed me just a few years ago to develop the skills and be given the privilege of soaring with eagles, frolicking among the clouds, seeing the world from a completely different perspective, experiencing the agony of dying lift and the ecstasy of scraping away and making it home. Thank you and may ASF project 000241 be successful and contribute to future soaring dreamers realising their dreams.”
