The Hitch Hike to Amsterdam for HOPE for Children

St Christopher’s Inns and Belushi’s are proud to be sponsoring the Hitch Hike to Amsterdam in aid of HOPE for Children. On Saturday March 21st 2009 47 students from the London School of Economics will be blagging rides from central London to Belushi’s in Amsterdam to raise much needed funds for HOPE for Children (www.hope-for-children.org). All Participants must get sponsored to take part! They must raise a minimum of £40 which is already raising £1880. With your help we can make this number HUGE!!

The Story of HOPE

HOPE is an international children’s charity working with disabled, orphaned and exploited children in thirty countries worldwide, including the UK. As a charity HOPE guarantees that 100% of all public donations go directly to projects on the ground. This low-cost ethos has been HOPE for Children’s guiding principle since it was founded. The charity was in fact set up to help the most needy in grassroots-level projects.

How to Help

EVERY PENNY RAISED ON THIS PAGE IS GUARANTEED TO GO TO PROJECTS HELPING SEVERELY IMPOVERISHED CHILDREN.

We are trying to reach a target of £50,000! Let’s put this in another context - if everyone can donate just £5 or £10 or whatever you can afford, we can hit and even exceed our target of £50,000! Together we can really make a huge difference for children worldwide. Every single penny donated is guaranteed to go straight to the projects.

Where The Money Goes…how you can make a difference

Examples of HOPE’s work include providing prosthetic limbs to children disabled by landmines in Sri Lanka, special equipment for disabled children in the UK, funding for street children centres in Uganda, India and the Philippines and help for abandoned children in Bulgaria.

Just £10 will feed a child for a month, £20 will provide a play kit for a children’s centre, £80 will provide a prosthesis for child land-mine amputee and £500 could cover the running costs of a school, or nursery - for a whole month!

If you want to see further examples of HOPE’s work in action please take a look at their website – www.hope-for-children.org  

Please Support these intrepid Students by donating money to HOPE right here and make their challenge all the more important and rewarding! Even just donating £5 online - could make a massive total!!  - Together we can really make a huge difference for children worldwide!

Please give what you can.
