My story

Hi everyone!

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

As you probably know, we will be volunteering in South Africa this summer with Be More, a fantastic charity that supports grassroots HIV/AIDS work throughout the country.

For a month, we will be working at the Agape Children's Home outside Durban. You may be familiar with the multi-award winning film, "We Are Together", which documents the lives of several children at Agape and their famous choir (see the Youtube trailer below)

As a volunteer, we will be able to contribute to the daily life at Agape, a children's home that accommodates 40-70 children.

Thanks to the generous support of those who attended our Canadian fundraiser, we have covered the cost of staying at Agape for a month.

We are now raising money directly for Agape. Ninety per cent of what you donate will go directly to Agape; the other 10 per cent will be donated to Be More, which supports more than 15 other charities in South Africa (www.bemore.org).

Recently, contributions from volunteers have gone towards funding:

-a counsellor to visit Agape once a week

-a "quiet room" where the children can speak to the counsellor in private

-sewing machines and sewing lessons (and a fashion show!)

-clothes, books, school supplies, toys and birthday presents

Anything you can give will be greatly appreciated! We will have a say in how a large portion of the funds raised will be spent, so the money will be put to the best possible use:)

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Be More gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25 per cent in gift aid, plus a 3 per cent supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor us!
