Dear friends
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I’ve decided to take on the challenge of The Great South Run in Portsmouth on Sunday 30th October 2011. Please help me stay motivated by helping me raise money for the Friends of Amasango! (www.amasango.org.uk/)
The Amasango Career School is a very special school in Grahamstown, South Africa that provides the only opportunity for free education for the many street children in the town where there is up to 70% unemployment. My family is deeply involved with the school and the charity and have all visited this great school in the Rainbow Nation. I’ve decided to do my bit to help the kids who attend there get a second chance in life!
Like other charities, the Friends are doing their very best to raise funds for those things that the South African government does not supply. The principal says they've not been able to provide clothes to all the kids who've joined the school this year so they're still coming to school in their rags from the streets! Surely we can do better than that! It's been a very cold and bitter winter but still these kids need some proper clothes!
