Story

Thanks for visiting my page. You've just taken the first important step...give yourself a pat on the back!

I'm going to spend the easter holidays hitch hiking all the way (1200 miles) to Morocco. It's completely unplanned, we have no transport booked, so we just have to turn up and hope someone's nice enough -or crazy enough- to give us a lift.

It'll be amazing, but will be a challenge. Its worth it though because it's for a really good cause. Link Community Development is a charity working in rural areas of several countries in sub-saharan Africa. It works to provide wider access to education, and to make education sustainable. Roughly translated, it sticks around after the publicity photos to make sure schools are being run well, and teachers are trained, giving long term benefits.

I have to raise £500 to do the hitch, but obviously, anything over that would be fantastic!

Donating will not only help the charity, but it will also give you the warm, glowing feeling inside that only comes from doing something good, so please be generous and donate whatever you can.

Thankyou so much :-)
