Fundraising up the world’s highest freestanding mountain!

1st December 2014

Christmas atop Kilimanjaro

Ricky Rodrigues one of HELP A POOR CHILD’s (HAPC) ambassadors has decided to embark on a huge challenge this Christmas to help support HAPC, by climbing the world’s highest free-standing mountain, Kilimanjaro.  He will be trading in the home comforts of Christmas time and embarking on a 6 day trek which will see him summit on Christmas Day.  What he is doing is extraordinary and he has already raised £1505.00, trebling his original target and, with your help, this figure can only grow. Any amount large or small will help the children of Jarra Soma (location of the HAPC Children’s Village school) and others get the education they deserve and would make a massive difference to the lives of those less fortunate than ourselves.
