Trekking the Great Wall for kids in need, South Africa

'Shop for a Stranger' is a small cause with a huge heart for those who don't have the most basic things we take for granted every day...things such as food, clean water, warm clothing and bedding. This group was started by my friend Marisa who, like many of us, juggles all the usual demands and stresses of everyday life: full-time work, plus looking after her own children and making ends meet herself - but somehow still makes this happen too. They are currently supporting a settlement in Grabouw (near Cape Town) where with the help of an incredible local woman called Aunty Poppie they strive to feed over 200 children as many times a week as they can. No small feat... but a little goes a long way… the price of a coffee would feed 40 kids… a donation of NZ$25 would feed all 200 children!

Please sponsor me in my Great Wall Trek challenge - any amount is welcome and every penny will go to this awesome cause.
