London to Brighton Challenge!

 
Many congratulations to Darren Fisk and Alex Guy, two of our outstanding fundraisers who previously donated and raised £12,000 for the Buy-a-Bus fundraiser! This past weekend they rose over £1,000 by taking part in the 56K, London 2 Brighton Challenge. Through this walk, they were faced with challenging conditions of wet fields and slippery mud, but they managed to complete the course in fewer than 13 hours! Undaunted, they are planning to register for the Thames Path Challenge and take on the 100k in September!

8 Year Old Hannah Raises Fund for CCF

Last night the Trustees of CCF UK were delighted to meet 8 year old Hannah from Notting Hill Gate. Hannah, a Korean living in England and a pupil at Pembridge Hall School, has shown a deep interest in the Cambodian Children's Fund.  She recently visited us to hand over money for the Nutrition Programme which she had collected by asking her friends and family to donate instead of buying her birthday presents.

This is her second year supporting Cambodian Children's Fund. We put a pack of information together for Hannah and loaned her a DVD.  It is with the help of children such as Hannah that the children in Cambodia will find a better life.  Thank you Hannah!  You are a star and an inspiration to others ....

Buy-a-bus success!

Congratulations and many thanks go to Darren Fisk and Alex Guy for all their amazing hard work, and for successfully raising approximately £12,000 through fund-raising events for CCF. Thanks to their efforts and donations to their Just Giving page (www.justgiving.com/Buy-a-bus) CCF will now be able to buy a bus to help get children safely to school, transportation that was desperately needed. Thank you again - it is with the help of people like you that CCF is able to make such a difference to the lives of so many.

Boxing for CCF

A massive Thank You to Peter Gilk at Brunty's and his son Ben for raising approximately $45,000 for CCF.  Much of the money was raised by Ben taking up boxing for the cause (http://www.justgiving.com/Ben-Gilks) This absolutely phenomenal amount is funding Shelter 2 at CCF in Phnom Penh making a huge difference to the lives of vulnerable children.  Thank you Pete and Ben.  We look forward to hearing about your visit there in April.

Creativity at the School Craft Fair

A huge Thank You to the three girls from Year 2 in Victoria College, Belfast who recently raised funds for CCF-UK at their school craft fair.  This group of very creative individules made and sold a range of gifts from bracelets to decorated candles and cufflinks made from coins to Christmas cards featuring their own pets.  Not only did their efforts raise an amazing £173, but they increased the profile of CCF and its work amongst the school's pupils, teachers and their families who attended the fair.
