Story

Hi,

Chris and I are fundraising for a school in that provides education, care and shelter for orphans, street kids and other vulnerable children. Through a stable and caring environment Shitima school aims to build a self sustaining route for children to create a better future for themselves and their community. There are at present 230 children in the school and it costs approximately £300 a year to feed, clothe and educate a child. The charity that funds the school also runs a feeding programme at a nearby drop in centre for street kids. The website explains it all in full but in short its a wonderful place where children are cared for and given new opportunities.

We are aiming to raise £25,000 to contribute towards new facilities that would mean that the school could take on more pupils and which would also create more jobs within the local community. All monies raised wil go to the school and not to pay for our trip. Not that there needs to be more of a reason to donate, but to give the fundraising a kickstart Chris and I are attempting the following...

For our not so romantic honeymoon we plan to cycle across Africa, from coast to coast - starting on the East coast of , biking through , , and ending on the West coast of . This covers about 5,000 km and we aim to do it in 30 days. Given that we havent done much cycling before (not counting the 12 minutes it takes me to get to work, and the 12 minutes it takes to get back) this could be quite a challenge!

Please give a little or a lot, it will all add up. 

Thank you.

Chris and Sarah
