Sir William Perkins's School (SWPS), in Chertsey, where my daughter Katherine is a pupil in year 11, has a long standing link with Bantuma School in Ghana. Every couple of years girls from SWPS travel to Bantuma to help develop the school and the school environment. Projects have included the making of desks, teaching the children and decorating the school.

In October Katherine is going to Ghana and is fundraising for Bantuma School. The project that she and her school friends will be supporting has not yet been confirmed and is dependent on the total funds raised.

Katherine has committed to walking the distance between Kotoka International Airport and Bantuma - a distance of 162 km. This means that she has to walk 4km every day for the next 6 weeks.

If you would like to support Bantuma School and help Katherine and her friends complete a project that will make a real difference to the children and teachers there, then please sponsor Katherine to complete her challenge.

Many thanks

Tracey and Katherine
