Hi I am Pennie :) I love spending my free time doing outdoor activities such as hiking, trekking. Besides that, I try my best to participate in volunteering projects. To be able to make a difference in society has been one of my main goals in life; I always believe that the more we contribute, the happier we feel. This year I have decided to volunteer in the Machu Picchu Trek which not only involves a physical challenge but also a fundraising target of £3140.

Right now in this country, there are children who feel scared, unloved, and like they simply don't matter. Without the right help, this can be an overwhelming and a lonely place to be. This has to change.The Children's Society brings together whats needed to help every child we reach lead the life they should have and realise their potential. I am part of a team from Hull Rag who are supporting The Children's Society. Over mountain passes and through jungle trails this trek is both a mental and physical challenge. My efforts will be supporting children like Molly a young carer who had to care for her sick mum. Molly got behind with her homework and it was only when The Children's Society stepped into offer support that Molly's confidence and well-being improved.Your support will help to give children like Molly the skills they need to thrive and feel less alone.

Across the world many unfortunate children experience poverty, sexual and criminal exploitation, and mental health issues. These children have to struggle daily in order to survive. As the fortunate ones, we must not allow these children to suffer in silence. Every donation goes a long way in giving these children a chance to know that they deserve to be loved. You are doing something amazing, thank you.
