Hi everyone,

This coming May I will be running the Leeds Half Marathon in aid of the Charity Soft Power Education (http://softpowereducation.com/.)  I would appreciate your sponsorship and through JustGiving all donations go straight to the charity.  I will be organising other fundraising events with fellow fundraisers this semester and participating in a sponsored bag pack in order to raise money for Soft Power Education.

At the end of July I will be travelling to Uganda with Leeds RAG/Soft Power Education to build classrooms in developing schools and assist as a teaching aid in classes.  Currently in Uganda a law has been passed which states that the first 2 boys and the first 2 girls born to every family have the right to free primary school education. In reality however there aren't nearly enough schools or teachers to accommodate all these kids. So, Soft Power works with the Ugandan government to build extra classrooms in existing schools, this does not only reduce class sizes but Soft Power also has an agreement with the Ugandan government that for every classroom the charity builds, the government will provide a teacher.

I need to raise £600 to pay for the building materials, local builder's wages and my beans and rice on the project! Its a really good cause so even if you can only give 10p I would be extremely grateful every little helps!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
