Elbrus Trek · 13 August 2012

SOS Children's Villages UK offers unsupported children worldwide the chance to grow up in a safe and nurturing family environment with education and healthcare. We work to reduce family breakdown and child abandonment and protect at-risk children affected by conflict and disaster.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Have you ever gone to sleep hungry for days? Have you ever wanted to go to school but could not afford to? Have you ever longed for a parents embrace but could not get it because you are an orphan? I know that for most of us the answer is ‘NO’. We have had a very privileged childhood. If the answer to any of the above is 'YES', you know what it is like to grow up without, what I believe, are the basic necessities of a child.

Some of my freinds and I are attempting a Mount Elbrus trek in September. And we are using this trek to create awarness and raise funds for a charity we strongly believe in, SOS children villages. We are raising funds through justgiving.com. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. 

Remember, there is no such thing as a small donation. Every penny counts. What costs you a snack can be a childs full day meal, what costs you a Starbucks coffee, can educate a child for a day.

For more information on how the funds are used by SOS villages and how SOS villages work refer to this link: http://www.soschildrensvillages.org.uk/sponsor-a-child/sos-mothers  . 

Please share, repost and spread the word, because what goes around comes around !

So please dig deep and donate now.
