I've raised £6000 to dig a well at the school of Pino Joni so that the young people can irrigate and cultivate the foods, medicines and diet they need to survive
Organised by Francis Castelli and Maxine Elliott
Story
Working our lungs, moving our feet and turning our wheels in September and October to help save lives.
IMAGINE A MAN WITHOUT LUNGS AND IMAGINE EARTH WITHOUT THE AMAZON RAIN FOREST.
We are raising money to dig a well at the school of Pino Joni (in the Amazon) so that the young people can irrigate and cultivate their own foods to help them and their families:
- maintain food security
- promote a diet that can combat diabetes (an epidemic in its own right for their culture due to poverty)
- maintain the herbal medicines unique to their culture
Please show your support.....
We'll be moving our feet/turning our wheels during September and October, and would love for you to sponsor us to help raise money for this worthy cause (photographic evidence will be posted online).
Francis is kicking us off with an 80km bicycle ride in the New Forest on Sunday September 19th. The last time he did a long cycle ride was from London to Brighton - ten years ago. Ten years later (and not being on a bike since) - we hope he can make it!!
Can you go the extra mile? (actually it's more, but who's counting?)
Can you join in with your own jog/run/cycle/walk in September/Ocober Ask those around you to sponsor you and help us to get to our target quicker! Simply move those feet and ask for contributions to our page: SavefamiliesintheAmazon
