<p>Sleeping on the streets so they don't have to!</p>
<p>On Friday 20th January a few of us are going to be sleeping on the streets for a night and then making our way through Saturday like someone living on the streets. During the sleepout we will experience what it is like to be one of the 150 million children across the world. The aim is to both raise awareness and to fundraise for Abaana, a brilliant charity working with street children.</p>
<p>The streets of Durham in January may be cold and wet, but that will be our main challenge. Children across the world face many dangers, from diseases and thieves 24 hours a day. Many children are found dead without an explanation and without a family to bury them.</p>
<p>Abaana have made a short film which gives an insight into what life is like for those children who call the streets of Uganda home. Click on the video below to watch on YouTube.</p>
