In July 2012, I will be to traveling to South Africa with eleven other people to help with a charity called Arise who work with vulnerable children. I am raising money to pay for my costs.
Arise work in a poor community in the outskirts of Cape Town in an area called the Cape Flats. Arise has a special connection as it was set up five years ago by a young lady, Debbie, who grew up in my church before moving to South Africa.
Debbie, together with her husband Alun, does increadible and practical work. Arise works with children who might find themselves in crisis because of abuse, severe neglect, abandonment, homelessness, parents imprisonment, parents who are sick and unable to find employment or children on drugs.
If you click to pay proceeds will go to my church, the Church of the Good Shepherd, who are handling the money for us.
Please give generously - any surplus will be used to support the work of Arise. If you have any questions, I'd be delighted to answer them.
