Story

Thank you for taking the time to look at my event.

In January I had a holiday in Kenya, visiting our sponsored child and the complex at Education for Life, which we have supported for many years.  It was a very humbling experience, and my wife Yvonne and I feel we would like to help, in particular to support their feeding program which aims to feed  all the children attending their school once a day.

This may seem very simple but is so important, as for many of the children this may be their only food of the day. Despite this hardship all the children have lovely smiling faces and are clearly very happy.

Racking our brains as how best to raise some money, my wife has come up with the idea of a sponsored “No lunch for Andy week”.  Those of you that know me at all will appreciate how much I love my food, how difficult it will be for me and therefore realise how much I must want to support the cause.

The rules will be – no food whatsoever between breakfast and evening meal, Monday through to Friday (this ensures that everyone can keep a check on me) commencing Monday 5th July 2010.

For further information please take look at the website www.educationforlife.net

I would be grateful if you would support me by donating here.

In addition, if anyone is also interested in sponsoring  the feeding program or sponsoring a child, please complete the form on the website.   I can assure you that it is a very rewarding experience for only a few pounds a month and you can really make a difference.

For example just £15 will feed 50 children.

I hope you will feel able to support me, no matter how small, as every little bit really helps –  and every little bit I don’t eat may do me some good also!!!
