Christina Noble Childrens Foundation
The CNCF Child Sponsorship Programme was first established in 1996 in Vietnam and a year later it was introduced in Mongolia to assist and encourage young, at risk street children to gain an education and continue in the mainstream schooling system. Just USD$31 per month provides a better quality of life for a child, by providing access to a decent education, emergency medical assistance and an improved quality of home life. These goals are achieved within the context of the child's family and community. CNCF strongly believes in the importance of helping people change their own lives. As such, the needs of each individual child and family are different and can be tailored for the child's needs. For example, a child who is working needs to be able to access a special alternative education programme with flexible hours, while older children need meaningful vocational training, health care, family life education and job placement assistance. By the end of 2008 the child sponsorship teams in Vietnam and Mongolia are working with over 1,200 and 1,500 children and their families, respectively.  

Our Story:
On the 24th of July this year we will be embarking on a journey to Mongolia. Starting, officially, in Milan we’ll be negotiating rivers, canyons, mountain ranges, and who knows what other dangers, in a plucky little banger! 8000 miles all going well, and a lot more in the highly likely event that we get lost!! We’re giving ourselves just 3 weeks to complete the journey; just how far we will get is anyone’s guess!
There are no back up crews, no support and no-one to bail us out when things go wrong. In order to take part in this event we need to raise £1000 for charity, so please help us in achieving this goal and donate just a smidgen of cash to help the children of Mongolia!
We’ll be making a video diary and sharing it when we return!
