Dear Fam & Friends,
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Why am I running a marathon (again)?
As you may know, Sambat Trust started after I treated my Mum to a trip home to the Philippines.
One story Mum told me from her holiday was of Johaini, a young girl in Mum's village who was not in school and learning because her family couldn't afford the school fees.
I decided to do something.
I asked family and friends for their support.
That first year, 36 children were able to go to school. Johaini was one of them.
Thanks to you, Sambat Trust is growing: we are establishing school libraries, granting scholarships and training teachers.
Over 2,700 children now have the opportunity to read children's books in school.
But we are just beginning. Every child has the right to a quality education.
With your help, Sambat Trust can continue to provide the resources required for children to thrive in school.
£10/$16
puts 10 local Filipiniana children's books in a library
£20/$32
buys a year of school supplies for 5 children
£50/$80
provides school uniforms for 12 children
£100/$160
places 70 Scholastic books on a library shelf
So why have I sponsored myself?
I can only ask you to do something if I'm also willing to do it :)
Love, thanks and salamat po!
Anthony
