In october I’ll be going to Zambia with 18 peers from school to help teach lessons and take part in sport with the children at the Kawama school, Zambia. We will also be learning about the culture of zambia and much more! 

I will be running the 10km Tough Mudder on the 24th of september which involves 20 tough obstacles and the rest of run through mud. We will aim to complete this in under 2 and a half hours. I would love to raise £3000 for beyond ourselves for the children in Zambia to improve their schooling and other aspects of their lives. All donations are greatly appreciated!!

Thank you, Sophia x

Since 2011 Cranleigh School has been partnering with Beyond Ourselves to offer quality education to orphans and vulnerable children in the Copperbelt region of Zambia. In particular Cranleigh has a long lasting and meaningful relationship with Kawama Community School in Kitwe. Over this time, the generous support from the Cranleigh community has provided the building and maintenance of six classrooms, a toilet block and kitchen, and given nearly a 1000 children access to a high standard primary education. The District Education Board cite Kawama Community School as an excellent example of practice for other Community Schools in the Copperbelt. Many of our students have had the opportunity to visit Kawama and the impact of those visits is significant.
