Our personal message:

Please help us raise money for street kids in Ethiopia. 

We need your help to raise money for RETRAK again. Do you remember how Libby climbed Kilimajaro two years ago? That was for RETRAK too and we managed to raise £5000 then.

After Kampala, RETRAK have now established a second base in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and again they are helping street children. This November Libby and I are both trekking in the Simien Mountains in northern Ethiopia. Our big goal is to climb Das Rashen, Ethiopia's highest mountain (over 4530 meters and nearly as high as Mont Blanc).  Our other goal is to raise £8000 for RETRAK. We will also visit the new street kids center in Addis. Please visit  www.retrak.org or ask us about their work.


PLEASE, please sponsor us ! This is a brilliant charity, we have seen their work and they really make a difference to the kids. I also have an excellent DVD that shows their work. Please let me know if you want a copy.

Making your donation through this site is easy and secure. You can sponsor us with your credit card. If you are a UK taxpayer there is an additional benefit because RETRAK will receive an extra 28% of your donation in tax (gift aid) at no cost to you. RETRAK receives the funds every two weeks and won't have to wait until November.


Thank you very, very much for your support.

Libby and Martin
