Imogen's fundraising for people living in the favelas
Fundraising for The Favela Foundation
Story
Hi, my name is Imogen and I am in year 4 at school. In a Geography lesson we learnt about the favelas and it made me sad thinking about people who aren't as lucky as me. I decided I wanted to help raise some money for them.
There are more than 1.2 million people living in the favelas in Rio and they have less than £1 per day. They don't have nice houses and toys like me and my friends and sometimes they don't even have enough food. Thinking about this made me really unhappy - it doesn't feel right to me and I don't think it's very fair.
I will be running, cycling, organising events at my school and anything else I can to raise as much money as I can.
I really hope you will help me reach my target, it would make me so happy. Thank you, from Imogen.
