Ghassan Alami & Mathilde Marcy is raising money for PACES
Story
We believe that being involved in sports and structured after-school
activities enables children to remain healthy and develop life skills that help them become confident and responsible citizens – a right that too many underprivileged children lack.
This is why we have decided to return to Norway this summer with the PACES family, cheering their teams on and then participating in a hike to raise awareness and funds for their various invaluable programs.
We will be covering all our expenses, and all the funds we raise will go
straight into the various programs of PACES. Please help us first by spreading the word about this amazing organization and then by donating any amount that you can spare.
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.
