My story

 

Hi!

Just to let everyone know Marcelle and I managed to keep silent for the full 8 hours today!!  Thank you to everyone who has sponsored and supported us - it's not too late if you or anyone you know would like to donate anything now!!!

Marcelle and I participated in a sponsored silence on Saturday 28th June 2008 from 10am to 6pm. We had 2 chaperones with us for the day and they looked after us really well!!

As you will all be aware we both talk a lot and  8 hours of not talking was a challenge, however we held the sponsored silence in the hope of raising some money for Casa Re'om.

On 2nd May Marcelle and I had a trial run at silence, as we had the children we only did it for 15 minutes, but we achieved it, and we were able to laugh in silence as well, I think we will need to have a few more practices before the big day, but we will do it!!!

Casa Re'om is a project in Beira, Mozambique for street children. There are 2 orphanages, Inhamizua for older boys and Dondo from newborn+ boys and girls,  the children can be cared for at these centers and receive an education, for more information look at www.casa-reom.org.uk

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor us online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: CASA REOM TRUST will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor us now!

Many thanks for your support.

Marcelle and Victoria
