Thank You!

Thank you to Rosie, Sophie, Millie, Nina, Lauren, Hannah and Beth (of St Edmund's Catholic Primary School in Godalming) who recently undertook a sponsored cycle ride to raise money for Les Amis.  Between them they managed to cycle 60 miles and in the process raise £500.

Here are some examples of what we can do with that £500 ….

·           buy two cows (essential to the lives of farmers and therefore families and communities)

·           put two secondary school girls through school for a whole year (food, clothes, school fees, boarding facilities)

·           put ten primary school girls through school for a whole year (school fees and school equipment)

·           take care of three girls in the refuge for runaways for a whole year (food, clothes, teaching them to read and write and also learn a skill)

There are so many people we need to thank that it is hard to know where to start.  At the very least we would like to thank all of you who contribute to the steady stream of donations, both big and small; those of you who have set up regular monthly payments into our account and those who hold fundraising events for us.  At the end of the day it is YOU who are achieving so much on our behalf.

It goes without saying that we thank the many people in Burkina Faso who work so tirelessly and voluntarily for us - without them and all that they do for us we quite simply would not be able to achieve anything.
