Did you know that Sherriff-sensei is running around Teganuma on Sunday? In England, before a race, people often ask others to give a little money. All of the money goes to charity. I am supporting Book Aid, a charity that gives books to the poorest children in the world. If you want to help, here's what to do:
- Click on my sponsorship page.
- Enter how much money you would like to donate (in pounds - there are about ¥200 to one pound), and write a message, or give secretly if you prefer.
- Fill out the online credit card details.
- The money will then be sent directly to the charity.
- I then run around Teganuma.
Book Aid says that for every five pounds (¥1,000) donated, they can give four books to people in the poorest area of the world, sub-Saharan Africa. Why books and not food and medicine? Because knowledge is power and what you can learn from reading can change lives. If we could raise 250 pounds (¥50,000) that would mean 200 new books for those in need. So far, we have raised 110 pounds (¥22,000). Can you add a little to that? Every little bit adds up...
