Fasting for Ghana.

As I have written in detail about my experience in Ghana last summer you have hopefully gathered that I hold the children I met close to my heart. The charity I work with Raising Hope Foundation are in the process of building an orphanage for the children in Santrokofi and need to raise further funds to complete the plumbing work. They are also raising funds to support young people into further education, without which would not be possible.

This is a photo of some of the amazing boys and girls from the class I taught in Santrokofi last summer.



My wonderful husband is among supporters who are undertaking a 24 or 48 hour fast next week! Charlie has gone for 48 hours of fasting from 8am on 25th September to 8am on 27th September. To clarify what I mean by fasting this is that he will consume nothing other than water. You may be asking why I am not taking part, especially as I am banging on about how great it all is! As I am breastfeeding I genuinely can't take part as it wouldn't be safe for me or Ethan. However, I am fundraising and getting the next batches of clothes and books ready for the children. Plus I will be undertaking a fast at a later date as soon as I stop breastfeeding. Now it is in writing on a public forum I can't escape!

If you can sponsor Charlie in his fast it would be amazing. Believe me, even just £1 makes a huge difference in the lives of these children, as I have seen first hand!
