LCD believes all children have the right to a good quality education. The charity works with schools and their communities in the most impoverished areas of Ethiopia, Ghana, Malawi, South Africa and Uganda. By sharing and developing skills its work is bringing about some remarkable, long-lasting changes in education, helping over a million children to have a better start in life.
This Easter I will be Hitchhiking 1200 miles from England to Morocco with a team from Nottingham University (the fabulous Jenny Kiralfy and Sherbaz Ahmed). It's in support of Link Community Development who do happy things in Africa - we're all for that, right? In order to do the Hitch, I have to raise £350 for the charity.
---------- (An interview with self) Me: Why are you doing this? Stephen: I do not know.
Me: How did you sign up? Stephen: I do not remember - I may have been hypnotised into it.
Me: Are you actually going to do the Hitch? Stephen: If I raise anything then I will have to.
Me: Are you optimistic about the trip? Stephen: Of course! I'll be preparing by practicing my hitchhiking poses, foreign hitching phrases and my James Bond skills in case we are kidnapped.
Me: Okay - I can donate to any charity, why should I give my money to you? Stephen: Pleaaaaaaseee :) During the Hitch I shall send you a daily email update with photos (unless I die/am kidnapped) and if you donate at least £30 I will send you a postcard from Morocco! ----------
Thank you for your support, and please tick add gift aid :) Any questions - stephen@stephenirvine.com
NB: Please send me your email address if you have donated and would like the daily updates.
