Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to come and help us out!</p> <p>Amantani UK have established boarding schools in Ccorca, Peru which provide local indigenous children with a relevant, inter-cultural education.&nbsp; Many of these children are orphans or come from violent domestic situations all over the region.</p> <p>We're aiming to raise &pound;50,000 this summer to help propel our next project from the drawing board and into reality: A new Eco-Lodge will provide financial and social sustianabilty for the charity in Peru, so we can create more spaces in the schools in the future.</p> <p>I'm taking to the saddle for a week long, 400 mile cycle tour from Manchester to Fort William.&nbsp; I'll have a days 'rest', taking a plunge in the ice-cold Scottish Lochs where I intend to find Nessie, stick her in formaldehyde and sell the result for &pound;7m, all of which goes to Amantani too. Oh, and the next day, I'll climb Ben Nevis carrying a 10kg weight - a trip that represents one which the girls have to undertake to reach the school.</p> <p>When we reach the &pound;600 mark, we have all helped a child through one whole year at the boarding school. Happy days.</p> <p>!Gracias!</p>
