Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.
On 3rd July 2010 we are planning to take part in the British Gas Great Swim. This is an open water swimming event, and takes place in the pristine, mineral rich waters of the Thames, where we will be swimming the length of the Royal Victoria dock.
We are swimming in aid of HOPEHIV, so any donations, whatever the size, would be greatly appreciated. If anybody would like to come down and support us, we will be setting off at 9.30am.
The Charity
HOPEHIV is a charity dedicated to providing the building blocks necessary to help lift African orphans out of poverty. It is their belief that the future of Africa will largely be decided by the next generation of young leaders who emerge from the community of those orphaned by AIDS. From this generation of orphans a generation of leaders can come. Leaders of families, schools, communities, nations and businesses. HOPEHIV is committed to working with local African community partners to pioneer new ideas and share lessons that have worked well in practice, in areas such as entrepreneurship, peer education, street children, leadership development and more.
