Story
We are taking part in the Big Walk for Water with CAFOD. We are asking pupils at St Benedict’s Catholic Primary School to try and walk 10,000 steps a day, every day for 40 days. You could space it out over a day or share the load with your family. Whether you hop it; skip it; slide it; run it; jump it; dance it; stamp it; stomp it. It doesn’t matter how you do it, just as long as you put your heart and soul into it. It would be lovely if you could post all the creative ways you are managing to achieve 10,000 steps per day on our school Twitter page. We fully appreciate that these are difficult times but if you could make a small donation to CAFOD no matter how small, it could make a huge difference to the lives of those whose need is the greatest. Go to www.cafod.org.uk/walk for more info.Your support for our Big Walk for Water will mean that we can help people like Abdella:Abdella is 23 and he has big dreams. He dreams of starting a small business, starting a family, of having his own home.He dreams of not having to walk for ten hours a day to get water. Abdella lives in Afar, Ethiopia one of the hottest places on earth. He spends most of a day getting water for his family to drink. On the days when he's too tired to walk, his brother goes. He knows that if there was water near his home, his family wouldn't have to worry about getting enough to stay alive. And he could start on the dreams he has for the rest of his life.Your gift could buy:- water for a family - £33 - a bike for a water engineer to travel to a remote communitys water pump - £66
