Cycling across Tanzania for the School of St Jude!
Donation protected
Hi, in February 2019 I'm going to ride my bicycle alone and unsupported the length of Tanzania to raise funds for the inspirational School of St Jude in Arusha, Tanzania.
The ride is about 1600 km and will take me from the south west to the north east corner of the country.
If you agree to sponser me, you will get your money back if I do not pedal every kilometre of the way! I promise!
St Jude’s provides a free, non-denominational , high-quality education to children who — due to poverty and social pressures — would otherwise be unlikely to complete their schooling. Drawn from families who often live on less than $1.25 per day, the pupils of St Jude’s are shining examples of what students can achieve when they are given the opportunity to receive a quality education.
The way they do things at St Jude’s is different. With generous and ongoing support from individuals and institutions around the world they have built an exceptional educational institution that regularly ranks in the top 10% of Tanzania. Every single one of their students was chosen because they combined academic promise with a desperately poor background and a great attitude to work. They feed them, house them, educate them, and do everything possible to ensure theirstudents’ wellbeing and future success. As a result they have three campuses filled with happy and healthy children in a country where children frequently drop out of school.
The school was started by Gemma Sisia, a great Aussie making a difference. There has been a lot of Australian support for the school over the years - if I can raise $3000 from sponsers of my ride that will pay for a student to receive an eductation for a year!
Come on, you know you want to support this great cause and follow my suffering at ridingacrosstanzania.home.blog all through February...

With many thanks for your support, and to the School of St Jude for the opportunity to do something worthwhile,
Andrew
