Michelle Cruz-Garlick is raising money for ChallengeAid
“Michelle Cruz-Garlick's fundraising”

on 28 May 2011

Donations cannot currently be made to this page
ChallengeAid (CA) raises money through sponsored challenges in the UK. None of the money raised is used for admin purposes. With that money we create Schools of Hope in slums in East Africa to allow aspirational children, through education, to escape the cycle of poverty in which they are trapped.

The ScfC aim is to promote health &amp; fitness in our schools and sports clubs while benefiting disadvantaged children worldwide.

There is also a study programme of life skills support such as substance abuse education and HIV/Aids awareness programmes and the pupils also spend time creating music and drama and at weekends there are sports teams and coaching opportunities.
