Walk To Sri Lanka
In summer 2010 a group of young people to Sri Lanka on a ‘volunteering working visit’ therefore within this we need to fundraise £40,000 to get there and help. One way in which we will get raise money is we have decided to have a fundraising walk of 5468 miles which is the distance from Eston Park School to Sri Lanka.A group of 20 girls have volunteered to walk the distance from Eston Park to Sri Lanka in aim to raise money for a group of young people to go volunteer in Sri Lanka in which they will build schools and teach children.
To do this we need to raise £35000, so every girl is walking 250 miles, 5 miles a day for 50 days to give a total of 5468 miles which is the distance to Sri Lanka.
We also aim to get 50p per mile and that way we will "make a difference" and raise a huge amount of money that will greatly assist our target of raising £35000
Map and poster about further details will be displayed around school and in reception showing the distance we have covered. Donation buckets are located in reception.
If you would like to donate please see Miss Talbot, Charlotte Hierons or Melissa Tyreman.
The girls set off walking on the 8th of February and we aim to have covered all the miles by 25th March.
IN 50 DAYS!! … 5468 miles … 20 GIRLS!!!
For every 50 pence we will walk miles -help us get to our destination
