Bupa Great North Run 2011 · 18 September 2011 ·

COCO’s purpose is to provide education to create the opportunity for children to break the cycle of poverty. We are currently working with communities in remote areas of Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. Our vision is a world where every child, everywhere has access to quality education.

Story

<p>It shocked me to learn that just <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>one day of my pay, could put a child through TWO YEARS of secondary education.</strong></span> &nbsp;I'm running the great north run, to raise money to pay for at least ONE child to get an a secondary school education over 5 years. &nbsp;More would be better. The charity I'm supporting is <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Comrades of Children Oversea</strong></span>s, and their website is&nbsp;<a title="COCO" href="http://www.coco.org.uk/projects" target="_blank">here.</a></p> <p>Knowledge is power, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>please donate to pay for the education of children,</strong></span> where only 8% of them currently get the chance to learn in a school. This will give children the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>power to become adults, who can get good jobs, understand healthcare and medicine, and make a difference in their own lives</strong></span>, and the lives of others around them.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
