BRAZIL 2011 - WE ARE GOING!

We are 7 young people from Ashwell, Baldock, Hinxworth & Bygrave (Tom Hartree, Callum Adams, Kia Pettitt-Brandtner, Jen Brown, Rufus Talks, Rosy Boxall, Amy Robertson & Amelia Morgan) and planning to go on a short-term project to Belo Horizonte to help at an Orphange that takes in some of Brazil's poorest children. Our flights are booked and we are leaving on the 20th July.

On this page we will give you regular updates on how we are doing and how you can help!

July update:

The Team have now reached the total of £14000. Thank you to everyone for their help and donations.
We had a commisioning service on the 17th July at St.Mary's, followed by a bring and share lunch and in the early hours of the 20th July the group left for Belo Horizonte. Everyone arrived safely in Brazil with only 1 bag missing on the way, which has now arrived as well. Thank you to everyone who donated toys, craft items and clothing and again a BIG THANK YOU to everyone to make this mission happening.
