We are about to embark on our 5th year of fundraising for the
Centre for Children's Happiness (CCH) orphanages in
Cambodia by once again running a Food For Thought sponsored challenge. The
money will help to further develop and maintain the orphanage school. This
links directly with our school focus on Human Rights and the United Nations
Convention on the Rights of The Child:
UNCROC
Article 28:
Every
child has the right to a good quality education and should be encouraged to go
to school to the highest level they can.
All the money raised will go directly to the orphanage and we will be
able to receive photos and updates of how the money is being used.
The challenge for our children is to eat the same meals as the children
in the orphanage for one whole day. Money will be raised through the children
gathering sponsors from family and friends and by donations.
