VANCHI Nappy Bags & Accessories

Random Acts of Kindness

2011-08-01T22:11:00.000-07:00

There are some truly inspirational women out there & we have been privileged & somewhat overwhelmed by the stories sent through to us as part of VANCHI – Operation Random Acts of Kindness. So much so, that we have been UNABLE to choose just 1 winner & have decided to reward 5 women with the VANCHI nappy bag of their choice. We also want to recognize another 5 women by sending them a $100 VANCHI gift certificate

We will be announcing one winner and one runner up here on the blog every day this week. Make sure to keep checking to see if your nominee has won!

Todays winner is Melissa. Nominated by her husband.

"My wife has inspired me with her strenth, selflessness and ability to guide our family through the birth of our 2nd daughter at 25+2 weeks gestation and a mere 710 grams. Our daughter was airlifted to hospital 90 minutes after birth and spent the first 9 weeks of her life in NICU in Melbourne which is 4 hours away from our home. My wife moved herself and our 9 year old daughter to Melbourne so she could spend most of the day and night by our baby's side. She homeschooled our eldest daughter in the cafeteria at the hospital in the hope of making the situation easier and less disruptive for her. Our baby was airlifted back to Wodonga Hospital and spent a further 6 weeks in special care nursery here in Wodonga. Since our daughter has come home, my wife has spent many nights awake with a severly refluxy baby. Not once has she complained about anything. Her needs are put last after our needs no matter what. She is a gorgeous person with a heart of gold and I am so proud to call her my wife and the mother to my children. To win this bag for her would be a great way of showing our appreciation to her for everything she has done for us over the last 4 months. "

And the runner up was nominated by her best friend Jane

A lot of people are in financial hardship these days, but my bestie still manages to put herself last. Its her birthday this week, and with number two on the way. I remember searching high and low for a funky nappy bag with number one at an affordable price, with no luck. She bought bits and peices and made up her own ok looking bag. She has now pulled that same bag out of the cupboard to "fix" up for number two. I know how much she would love one of these funky, fabulous bags, but I myself am off work for medical reasons and unable to afford to get her one as a gift, as much as I would love to....... I would love to see the excitement in her face to receive one of these bags..... She is the best bestie!!!! And Mum!!!

The wonderful people who nominated these incredibly deserving winners will be contacted via email shortly.

I’m a firm believer that what you do for a living should make a difference - that it should have a positive impact on the world you live in and the people you meet.

I started VANCHI www.vanchi.com.au with short term goals in mind – I wanted to be able to stay at home with my newborn twins and to contribute financially. I wanted to create a funky looking nappy bag www.vanchi.com.au to help myself and others like me transition from “executive mum” to “not so executive mum”. Not a big ask really??

VANCHI has enabled me to make that difference within my family and also within the parenting community of Australia. With over 44,000 Nappy Bags, Wraps, Wallets, Change’n’Aways and Clutches sold since VANCHI’s conception in 2006, I can look back at what we have achieved with a smile remembering our humble beginnings.

For me purpose and value is the incentive to get up each day and my job. With a superficial glace, one might say that I make nappy bags – and while that is true – if that was all I did – the purpose and value side of my life would be sorely out of balance.

At VANCHI we do a number of things that I am proud of – that make a difference. We make fabulous Nappy Bags which indeed bring a touch of glamour to the noble profession of child rearing! We offer fantastic customer service - our motto is “we love to delight our customers”. We employ mums! The majority of our staff work part-time, from home where possible. Their hours are flexible and allow them to enjoy their SAHM status. We support a number of Charity organizations through prize sponsorship and have a ongoing monthly commitment to Child Rescue a division of World Vision working to combat child slavery.

In 2011, the last of my brood – the twins – left the nest to begin their school careers! My short term goals have been realized but that ebb inside me to impact the world I live in continues to grow and cultivate. Anne Frank, a Jewish child who died as the result of Nazi occupation in WWII, once said “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world”. What a challenge this little girl presents us all with!

At VANCHI HQ we love to hear from our customers! It could be as simple as your thoughts/review on the VANCHI latest purchase, a picture of you out and about with your VANCHI Nappy Bag, quirky stories that involve your VANCHI bag – perhaps saving your life –the list is endless! If you’re not already a VANCHI VIP – we’d love to see you sign up and don’t forget to stop by our FACEBOOK page to keep up to date with the goings on here at HQ….

Until Next time
