My story

Hi everyone

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

On the 28th June I will be flying out to Peru with 7 friends to help the charity Project Peru. We will be laying the foundations for a dormitory building for schoolchildren in the mountain village of Sanayca. Many children that go to school in Sanayca are from higher mountain villages and are currently sleeping rough during the week as it is such a great distance from their homes. Our project will give them a safe and comfortable place to stay.

We have each paid for our own flights and made a personal contribution towards food etc for the month we will be spending in Peru. Any donations that we receive are all going to the charity and will supply us with the building materials that we need to complete our plans.

Please sponsor me to help make our dormitory project a success. You can donate as little as £2 through this website.

Thank you very much and to everyone who has already made donations. I really appreciate it

Hester

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Project Peru gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

P.S. The link below will take you to the (now unfortunately outdated) article that The Press in York wrote about me. Complete with embarrassing quotes and a scary photo x
