<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;"><strong><span style="font-size: 26pt; font-family: "Rockwell Extra Bold";"> </span></strong><span style="color: #008080;"><strong><span style="font-size: 22pt; font-family: Rockwell;">Help us help ourselves!!!</span></strong><span style="font-size: 22pt; font-family: Rockwell;"> </span><span style="font-size: 22pt;"> </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><span style="font-size: 22pt;"></span><span style="color: #339966;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Rockwell;">The children in Amantani's boarding houses are raising money to sustain the project which is located in a small mountain community in the Peruvian Andes... and they want your help!</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Rockwell; color: #339966;">On the 23rd June 2011, the 64 children, aged between 8 and 16 years old, will show that they too can raise money! They will hike to the top of the mountain Apu Mama Simona (5,200m) which looks out over Cusco. That is 1,600m of climbing!<br /> <br /> They would like people here in the UK to sponsor their efforts, so that they can fill their school bags.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Rockwell; color: #339966;">This challenge is an exercise in self-esteem, teamwork and determination. It is an expression of these children’s self-sufficiency. <br /> <br /> If you admire this attitude and want to encourage it, please sponsor them!!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Rockwell; color: #339966;"><br /> <strong><span style="font-family: Rockwell;">Each school bag costs £10 to fill.</span></strong><br /> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Rockwell; color: #339966;">Amantani’s boarding houses in Peru have transformed the lives of these 64 Quechua children living in the Andes of Peru.<br /> </span></p>
