Going the Distance
Three Tonbridge School students, Chris Bowdler, Max Linington and Andrew Goodman are embarking on a charity bike ride on the 19th July around the UK to raise money for Sekolo Projects. They are cycling 1220 km (750 miles), unsupported, sleeping in tents that they are carrying with them. This is an endurance event which will push them physically and mentally to their limits.
Read more about their efforts on the Tonbridge School website here, and support their ride and Sekolo Projects by donating here.

A Voice in the Desert - African Gospel CD
A Voice in the Desert is a social entrepreneurial product, a CD that blends charity and commerce. Mokaleng School, where Elizabeth Robinson was first a volunteer teacher, has a great need for funds as most learners are unable to pay the boarding fees. Funds from this CD help the community meet that need, in a way that celebrates their home-grown talent, and develops self-reliance towards the ultimate goal of self-funding. See the OneAfrica news clip about Mokaleng and order CDs at www.Mokaleng.com
