Story
4 days. ~45 km of Sahara sand dunes. 3 friends. 1 school in Kenya.
On 19 November I'm trekking across the Moroccan Sahara with two friends, not only for the adventure, but to raise money for Nyota Ing'arayo (Shining Star), a primary school for 300+ children aged 3-12 in Kongowea, Mombasa.
Friends of mine have kept this school going for years, much of it out of their own pockets. Families pay what they can, but it doesn't cover teachers, upkeep or the daily meals many of these kids depend on.
We're walking ~45 km through the Sahara so that all 300 kids at Nyota get breakfast and lunch for a whole month. EUR 4 feeds a child for a month - less than a coffee and a croissant here in Barcelona.
Sponsor a kilometre! Around GBP 23 (about EUR 27) covers one km of sand. I'll post updates from the desert as the kilometres - and the sponsors - add up.
Every donation goes directly to the school. Thank you!
