Children of Latin America - The Walk For The Children 1 comment
On Sunday April 1st I’m going on a little stroll along the Thames from Hampton Court to Putney and in the process try to raise some cash for a small charity. The charity is called ‘Children of Latin America’ (Reg No:1111335) and every 3 months or so it raised about £2,000 for a designated Latin American charity.
It then identifies a kids charity in the country to which it gives the money for kids programmes. My goal is to raise a staggering £100. If anyone feels the urge to part with a few pounds to help out please do, pennys will do too ;) Also if anyone whats to join us on the walk feel free! Thanks for your time paddy ;)
