Our annual Gower Yomp is very popular in the summer. This year it will be on June 8th. Fiona will
be joining us again, eager to meet her supporters!

Please join us for
the 2019 Gower Yomp to raise funds for a Nsobe Community School minibus

On June 8th we are walking 10 miles starting at 9:30 from the Heritage Centre Parkmill SA3 2EH. Parking available. It is a circular walk taking in the beautiful coastal path. We are raising funds for disadvantaged village children in the rural area of the Zambian Copperbelt. The children have the rare opportunity to be educated to college level and become professional and business people, uplifting their communities. A minibus will take them on trips outside their villages and be useful in so many ways! Both teachers and children have struggled for 10 years without any transport. The school is in the bush, far from any town. We do apply for grants but it is rare to come across an organization that will fund transport!

NSOBE COMMUNITY SCHOOL IS RECOGNISED BY THE GOVERNMENT AS A "BEACON" SCHOOL but has to be privately funded.
There is an excellent video of 6 mins relaying all this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOULq75qhiY or YouTube "Nsobe Community School"

100% of funds raised will be matched by Maggie and Mike and are transferred to the school. Deductions and Corruption are NIL!

Our first attempt for the Gower Yomp on the 11th of August 2018 had to be cancelled due to very bad weather.
However we did manage a short walk on Hill End beach and the dogs loved it!
Fiona and her 2 children took part as well despite the weather
