Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!
I am a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar sponsored by the Rotary Club of West Hartford, CT, USA, and am currently being hosted by the Rotary Club of Cheam in the UK while I pursue an MSc in Public Health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
This 15th of June, a small group of Rotary International scholars from around Great Britain and Ireland joined together to take on the UK's Three Peaks Challenge. We hiked the highest peaks in Scotland, England, and Wales to raise funds and awareness for ShelterBox.
ShelterBox, a Rotary International creation, is an international disaster relief charity that provides emergency shelter and life-saving supplies to families around the world who are affected by natural and manmade disasters. You can find more information about ShelterBox online at: http://www.shelterbox.org/
As a team, our goal was to raise 5,000 pounds for ShelterBox. These funds will allow ShelterBox to deliver emergency shelter and other lifesaving equipment to 8 families who have lost everything following a disaster. We have already met this goal and hope to raise funds for even more families in the coming weeks.
We would appreciate any donations you can give to this cause!
