Love Mercy

It is coming up to that time of year again… the time where the pain from last year’s Sutherland to Surf is but a distant memory, meaning that we are silly enough to decide to do it again! Check out the highlights from last year on YouTube:    After raising over $65,000 last year, the Kristina Health Clinic is built, and almost ready to be opened for use! Here  are some photos to see the tangible difference that our efforts made last year. We would love to have you on our fundraising team, as we aim to raise $50,000 to continue to resource and equip the Kristina Health Centre as it works towards being opened in August this year. We are also hoping to provide over 1000 micro-finance agricultural loans to women in 2013, and so will be using some of the funds raised this year to go to our Cents for Seeds project. This year’s challenge is not only to raise $50,000 but to double the size of our team. We really need your help to do that! Can you find a friend to run

Julius Achon has an inspiring story of hope which continues to unfold.One morning on a routine training run in Uganda, Julius Achon literally stumbled upon 11 orphaned children living at a bus shelter. These children, who had been effected by Africa's longest running war, were without food, clothing, housing or educ
