Help Kakuma refugees- cycle to ICC in the Hague

This Summer I am going to cycle to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Hague (total mileage 268, via Calais). I am doing this cycle to raise money for My Start Project for Gua Africa which supports the Kakuma refugee camp (a charity I have been volunteering with for six years); none of the costs of the trip will come out of the money raised. Kakuma is one of the largest refugee camps in the world, and although the camp is supposed to be a place of transition to a better life, the average person spends seventeen years here. I chose My Start Project because I believe that their mission is the strongest: education is one of the best routes to getting refugees back onto their feet, as the Gua moto says, 'Educate a child, develop a nation', (Emmanuel Jal). 
I chose to cycle to the ICC to show my support for the proposed trial of Omar Hasán Ahmad al Bashir, the ex-president of Sudan and the man who caused the wars which displaced the people who fled to Kakuma refugee camp.
I hope you can support the refugees with a donation no matter how small, (if you have a Charity Account you can also use the Sponsor a Friend functionality. Gua Africa UK is a registered charity, number 1123840. My email is Leosterz @ outl ook. com). Just to let you know I am also pitching in to help the refugees, I have opened up an online store where I sell action figures that I make:



More information about My Start Project for Gua Africa: Gua Africa promotes education in Africa through academic sponsorships for refugees who have survived war and genocide. Some fought in wars as child soldiers, some survived the Rwandan genocide of 1994. They all trekked hundreds of miles and have spent many years in the Kakuma Refugee Camp of northern Kenya. Today My Start Project for Gua Africa provides them with sponsors who pay for their school fees so that they can graduate as doctors, lawyers, teachers and much more.  For more information visit this webiste: https://www.mystartproject.co.uk/. Here an aerial view of the Kakuma refugee camp, to show you the scale of the problem, and because showing you a picture of the pain and suffering in the camp would be too much of a cliché, and this image speaks reams.
