Story

<p><em><span style="color: #0000ff;">Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</span></em></p> <p><em><span style="color: #0000ff;">I have teamed up with 3 primary colleagues and together we are undertaking the challenge of trekking to Everest Base Camp during the first 3 weeks of April.&nbsp; We are hoping to establish links with the school in Khumjung, set up by Sir Edmund Hilary (Himalayan Trust UK).&nbsp; They will be celebrating their Golden Jubilee this year!&nbsp; </span></em></p> <p><em><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">For my challenge I have elected to support the Mercy Rescue Trust a baby rescue centre in Kitale, Kenya, together with&nbsp;the Pearl of Africa choir from Uganda.</span></span></em></p> <p><em><span style="color: #0000ff;">We were visited at Richard Lander in November 2010 by the amazing Pearl of Africa choir and were&nbsp;humbled by their dedication, hard work and motivation. Their&nbsp;singing and dancing&nbsp;are inspirational&nbsp;and the school has selected the choir as&nbsp;a charity we wish to support.&nbsp; If you wish to donate to this charity please use this link <a href="http://www.justgiving.com/debelford">http://www.justgiving.com/debelford</a></span></em></p> <p><em><span style="color: #0000ff;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
