Story

<p>Hello,</p> <p>I have decided in March 2011 i will begin my challenge of hitch hiking the 1292 miles&nbsp;to Morocco.</p> <p>This hitch hike is to raise money for the charity <strong>Link Community Development. </strong>Link is a charity that bases its work in 5 countries in sub-Saharan Africa (Ghana, Ethiopia, Malawi, South Africa and Uganda) Link is dedicated to increasing the quality of life for children in these countries. Improving the quality of education and creating a main body to monitor this progress is&nbsp;a main&nbsp;focus. Link also work at providing training of&nbsp;essential skills and healthcare along with providing support&nbsp;for those children having been orphaned.</p> <p>The size of the donation is not important to me, however every small amount helps towards reaching my target so please would you be kind enough to sponsor me in my effort.</p> <p>Link have begun some incredible work&nbsp;in Africa&nbsp;yet financial&nbsp;support is essential for this progress to be sustainable.</p> <p>Photos and stories will be shared when&nbsp;I&nbsp;return,&nbsp;but now&nbsp;I&nbsp;plea for your donations&nbsp;so that Link can continue to reach out and change the lives of these less fortunate children. I am truly grateful for any contribution and I can asure you that both Link Community Development and I&nbsp;are really appreciative of your&nbsp;generosity.</p> <p>Thank you, Charlie x&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
