Hi, I am Teoh, a Malaysian educator currently based in China.

This October, I will be running the Sierra Leone Marathon — not for competition or personal glory, but for something bigger: to support Street Child, a UK-based charity that helps vulnerable children in Sierra Leone and other countries go to school, stay in school, and build better futures.

But I am not doing this alone.

A small team of my students — Alisa, Eric, Kevin, Mandy and Rayne, all young people from China – are joining me on this journey in their own way. They are not running the race, but they are:

✅️Creating content and sharing the cause in both English and Chinese

✅️Reflecting on privilege, access, and what education really means

✅️Learning about a world far removed from their own — and how to engage it responsibly

This is not just a charity campaign. This is a learning journey across cultures, ages, and realities.

Your donation supports Street Child’s work:

✅️Building schools

✅️Training teachers

✅️Supporting families

✅️Reaching children in some of the world’s most challenging environments

All donations go directly to the charity.

Help us turn this into more than a marathon.

Help us turn it into a conversation that bridges worlds.

Thank you for being part of the journey.

-Teoh
