Hey Everyone
as some of you may know me and a group of friends are heading out to Mombasa in Kenya at the end of August for 2 weeks. We're going as part of the friends of Mombasa childrens charity which works closely with the Victory school there. the school has basic facilities and is pretty over crowded. it is right next to a slum village where a lot of the children that attend come from poor families who cant afford to send their children to school, clothe them and give them what they need. this is where the charity helps them most buy providing these essentials to the children. while we are out there we will be teaching the children, organising sports, providing first aid treatment to them, and take them to the beach and zoo which a lot of them would never have experienced. we'll also take some things out to them like pencils, books, clothes and other bits.
the donations that you give will go towards us being able to do this. the target is pretty big but thats for 8 of us to be able to go. any donation you can offer will help and we would all be hugely grateful. this will be an experience of a lifetime. check out some of the pics as well. wouldnt let me put many up though so could also see the website http://www.mombasachildren.org.uk/index.php
thank you
jemma, ally, lily, steph, clare, steph c, john and dan (the main man) :)
P.S. im not sure if it asks you about gift aid but if you do get asked click yes. you dont pay anything extra it just comes from the goverment and lets be hounest they've got loads of money :)
