We are the youth members of Bromley Syro Malabar Mass Centre. We plan to do one day trekking mainly for a challenging activity and also for a good cause. As part of this challenge, we plan to raise funds for a charity - HOPEHIV, to  support young people in sub-Saharan Africa who have been orphaned or affected by HIV/AIDS.  We believe that we have the potential to make a change in their families, communities to create a better future. Please support us by making a small donation to our team fundraising-many thanks!
