<div>Hi, my name is Hilda, and together with Barry, both of us in our seventies, we’ve decided to do something a little wild:  climb Table Mountain in South Africa.  Why?  Because there’s something that matters more to us than our comfort, or knees that don’t always play along … and that is protecting children from abuse.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For over 14 years, I’ve been passionately teaching children the tools they need to feel safe, empowered, and heard. The approach that’s close to my heart is Protective Behaviours - a powerful program that helps children understand personal safety, trust their instincts, and speak up when something feels unsafe.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, I want to turn this passion into something lasting. I’ve written an Activity Book that teaches the Protective Behaviours principles in a child-friendly, engaging way. It’s designed to be used by parents, carers, teachers, counsellors - anyone working with children.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And here’s the best part:  I want to give it away completely free to as many children and families as possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That’s where the mountain comes in.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To raise the funds needed to print and distribute this book, we’re climbing Table Mountain.  It’s symbolic - it’s tough, it’s high, and yes, it’s a bit mad for people our age - but every step we take represents a child learning that they have the right to feel safe at all times.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our goal is to raise $6,000 to cover the design, printing, and distribution of the first 10,000 copies of the 30-page Protective Behaviours Activity Book.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation, big or small, gets us one step closer to the summit - and more importantly, one step closer to giving children the tools they need to stay safe.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please donate if you can - and share this with anyone who believes in protecting our most vulnerable.  Together, we can make safety, confidence, and resilience accessible to every child - no matter where they are.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let’s climb this mountain together. With love and determination, Hilda and Barry
</div>
