Happy Child 3 Peaks challenge UK · 14 April 2009

We create a positive impact and immediate, lasting change on the lives of vulnerable children and young people in Brazil. We aim to guarantee their rights to protection from violence, family care, and to provide them with education and opportunities so that they can break the cycle of poverty

Story

We're taking on a bit of a crazy challenge this August (22nd) - hiking up (and down) the 3 highest peaks in the UK in 24hours  - so Ben Nevis (Scotland), Scarfell Pike (England) and Snowden (Wales). Sounds easy hey - well hope you believe we can do it and sponsor us for Happy Child.

Happy Child is a charity focused on saving Street Kids in  Brazil - they've set up care shelters to take kids upto age of 15 off the street or and away from prosituition (often both). I visited one of the homes last year in Recife (officially the most dangerous place in Brazil) - Happy Child has some truely inspirational people to run these shelters some really amazing work saving boys and girls - who couldn't of had a worse start in life. But they can only help a small fraction of the kids that need it. Capacity is a big issue and more funds help them set up more shelters to help more kids.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Happy Child gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
