My story

 

Hello!

Welcome to my manic effort to raise £700 pounds for Camps International Trust in one week.

I and several other runners are raising money through the Camps International Trust to fund a feeding programme for Sasenyi Primary school in the Rukinga Sanctuary on the outskirts of Tsavo National Park, Kenya. Violence, and chronic maize shortages have meant the current situation is very bleak for children at the school. They have one small meal at night in their homes. The next morning they have a cup of water before walking to school. For some of them this can be up to 2 hours. At school they have nothing all day, not even water, before returning home again in the evening.

Our programme would aim to feed the 600 pupils at the primary school, aged roughly from 7 – 15, and 200 under 7’s from the pre primary school.

Camps International Trust has a team of 15 runners. £700 from every runner would provide a meal for every child every day they attend school for a whole year.  Money goes direct to the children.

I appreciate times are difficult here in the UK, but they are a hell of a lot more difficult for these kids in Kenya.  So any donation, no matter the size would be most gratefully received.

Please spread the word to all those you think might like to help - and thank you yourself for helping.

All the best,

Richard
