Story

Hi all,

Thanks for taking the time to come to this page! It's true our very own Happy Happy Kibii is coming to the UK to run the 2011 Virgin London Marathon!

Kibii amazed us with his fitness and agility running the Jinja marathon in just over 3.5 hours here in Uganda in blazing sun, along muddy Ugandan village paths and up and down dale! We figured a little run through the streets of London would be easy peasy for him! 

Let's raise as much money as we can and make it worth Kibii travelling all the way to London and slogging through the streets of London.

£5,000 will help to pay for the full renovation and refurbishment of AS Lubani Primary School in the photos - take a look! Currently the roof is leaking, the walls are not plastered and the floors are not cemented meaning the children get jiggers in their feet. We can transform this classroom block and make it into an inspiring place to learn for these wonderful children.

Please dig deep and help us change the learning experience of these smiling faces.

We'll also be holding a post marathon party in London for everyone who can make it to come and celebrate with Kibii. Why not use it as a chance to catch up with all the friends you made whilst volunteering? We want to see the streets lined with Soft Power Education t-shirts and signs saying 'Happy Happy!'
