...and I will walk 500 Miles...
President Richard has completed his 500 mile walk and raised over £4K for a Bore Hole in Ghana
Job done. With the gift aid tax relief the required £4K will be reached. I have informed Sister Elizabeth at the amazing maternity hospital. As you would expect she is delighted and very appreciative of you all for your generosity. Once Just Giving has finalised my account I will post the final amount. The money will go straight to the hospital. Should there be any monies above the 4K it will go towards another water borehole. Ghana Outlook has six such projects waiting to be done by desperate communities. I Trust this will be ok. I will post photographs when the borehole is complete. Thank you, Richard
I hope the video below explains better than I ever could the reason for my fund raising effort. The pictures are just a few of the many that I have witnessed myself over the 20 years as secretary of Ghana Outlook. We wash our cars, brush our teeth, tender our garden with water that we accept is freely available. In reality for many people it is either impossible or a serious health risk or both. For them water is a worry, a time consuming task and life saver every day. My last may raise another £12. What ever the outcome the maternity hospital borehole will happen. That is my promise. It will be named after Joseph Achana and Marie Galliford, both who understood the difficulties of accessing clean water and the benefits of it
THANK YOU FOR THE MAGNIFICENT SUPPORT, from friends, friends of friends and people I don’t even know
