Hi everyone :)

An update from Vegan Buddies base camp. First of all, we're really excited by the interest and enthusiasm that the Vegan Buddies project has generated. Thank you to all our friends who have signed up as mentors, and to all the "wannabes" who have contacted us in need of help. We hope that we're providing you with a useful resource, and that going vegan doesn't seem so daunting/filled with sacrifices/unhealthy/weird as it might have done before you found us!

We're being contacted by people around the globe, the most recent call for help coming from someone in Australia! This is great, as it means news of the Vegan Buddies Project is spreading far and wide. We've successfully partnered-up people in Toronto, DC, Colorado, NYC and CA; we've put people with some fairly serious health problems in touch with nutritionists who can carefully guide them along the path to veganism, and we've created some genuine friendships in the process.

And this is what it's all about.... saving animals, making friends, and forming a global vegan community so that people know even if they don't have another vegan in their immediate midst, they aren't alone, they're part of a great movement to make this world a kinder, better, happier, healthier place.

Thank you for being part of it :)
