Girls living and working on the streets of Kinshasa face multiple threats.

Last night I attended the book launch of ‘Girls Night In’. A wonderful collection of short stories written by Jessica Adams, Cecilia Ahern, Maggie Alderson, Nick Earls, Gretel Killeen and long list of other accomplished authors. The evening began with some champagne and nibbles. Authors mingled and talked about old times and it was an opportunity for some young fans to meet their literary idols.
The evening was not all about champagne and chit-chat though. This event had a serious side. We all remembered that sales of the book generate income for War Child designated to helping children in war torn countries. So it was befitting that the room stopped in silence to listen to Mark Waddington speak about the progress and activities that War Child is making.
Next year on 5 August Adam will set off for the challenge of a lifetime. I will be running 960km at an average altitude of 400m above sea level in 22 days. Travelling through the Himalayan mountains on the Friendship highway, travelling from Lhasa, Tibet to Kathmandu, Nepal. This will set a new world record, raising awareness and funds in support of War child while i’m he’s at it.
From the bottom of the sea to the highest mountain, there’s a story for everyone in the latest Kids’ Night In book – volume three. Kids’ Night In 3 might just be the most amazing collection of stories ever.
With the help of Everyday Hero you can raise money by creating a personalised online fundraising page with your own photos or videos telling your story about how and why you are trying to raise money. There’s no hassles collecting promised money or issuing receipts because Everyday Hero sends a receipt immediately by email and pays the money directly into War Child’s bank account.
Dear supporters, we are very excited to introduce you to our new website. We really wanted to let you know about a few fund raising initiatives that are about to come to fruition.
We are pleased to announce that the total tally fundraised by the group is over $30,000. This is an incredible effort, and we are greatly appreciative of the participants and the businesses and individuals who supported them. The money raised from the Cambodia Challenge will go directly towards community projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo, providing education and support to children affected by war. Our sincerest gratitude must also be extended to the dedicated team at Inspired Adventures, facilitators of this once-in-a-lifetime trip.
