My first GREAT walk this time Stewart Island!! Going with a GREAT team!!

$539 of $1,000 goal
Given by 11 generous donors in 9 weeks

Please sponsor me!!! I turn 55 this month (yikes) and I'd LOVE some gifts for Orphans Aid as a birthday gift!!

Otago

We love to take teams overseas to meet children involved with Orphans Aid face to face. This year it's not been possible, that doesn't mean that the needs are still not there, in fact the needs have become even more intense due to the isolation and challenges many communities and individuals have faced this year.

I've not done a complete GREAT walk in NZ before, so what a great place to start on our very own overseas destination.

The walk is 32 km long over 3 days and 2 nights on the track. Could you consider donating $1 for every km to Orphans Aid and sponsor me?? I'm doing the training, preparing to carry in my food and supplies, paying my costs and fees in the hope to bring attention to some of the worlds poorest in particular children without parents or at risk of being abandoned. If 32 wonderful people could donate $32 or more that would be over $1000 to strengthen the work of Orphans Aid. That would seriously be awesome!!! The funds are going towards extra needs and costs Orphans Aid is encountering as a result of cover-19.

I'm walking Stewart Island for Orphans Aid! It's not a time to sit back but to continue to fight for children who literally have no-one. Together with a team on Rakiura/Stewart Island this year, our walk will bring change to help many children. Thank you!
