My story

Hi there!

After our respective adventures last year, we're off on a new challenge in 2006: we're going to Hitchhike to Morocco to raise money for Link Community Development. Every single penny donated to them helps in aiding children in Southern Africa escape poverty through the empowerment of education.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Link Community Development 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.

£10 could pay for a desk for a child who now studies on the floor.

£25 could pay for education support workers to visit 5 schools. This ensures schools have the personal support they need to tackle problems both inside the classroom and out.

£100 could train 10 teachers at an HIV / AIDS workshop. Education remains the most effective 'shield' that society has in the battle against HIV and AIDS.

£250 sponsors an entire school for one year. Sponsorship helps fund much needed development grants. It also funds vital training and support for the sponsored school, and more besides! (click here for more information on our School Sponsorship Scheme)

£500 could pay for 50 teachers to attend a literacy workshop. Literacy provides children with a sense of pride, competence, and ability to function more effectively in society.

As a further incentive, a donation of £5 or more gets you listed on our "Friends and Supporters" page;
A donation of £10 or more also gets you access to our secret daily blog;
A donation of £20 or more and we'll also send you a postcard from the two of us from Morocco, plus the benefits listed above;
A donation of £35 or more and we will also put together all the blog entries into a pdf book format, which you can print out if you wish, plus the benefits listed above;
A donation of £50 or more and we will actually print out the above book for you, bind it and send it to you, autographed with a message of your choice from both of us, plus the benefits listed above;
and finally, a donation of £60 or more gets you all the above, plus additional negotiable benefits. For example, we could put an advertisement for your company in our book; run an add for your company in our daily blog and/or emails; wear your T-shirt on our Hitchhike; and so on. Please contact us for more information!

Many thanks for your support! Please visit our website as well!
