August 6th/7th: The Great Norfolk Walk carrying a ShelterBox, fundraising for that Charity. A young lady, Charlie Houlder-Moat, walked from Hunstanton to Watton via the Peddars Way carrying a ShelterBox on her back in a special harness (a demonstation empty box but none-the-less bulky!) Having walked over 35 miles overnight, Charlie arrived early in Watton on market day 7th August for breakfast in the Christian Community Centre before proceeding along the High Street to the reception by the Mayor and Town Cryer at the finish line near Wayland Hall at 10 am.  It is estimated that she has raised over £3,000 in sponsorship - that will buy at least 5 complete ShelterBoxes  CHARLIE'S FUNDRAISING PAGE ( CLICK HERE ) is still open for Donations.

Charlie leaves the Christian Community Centre after refreshments, and walks up the and across the High Street to the finish line and official reception party.

David Mboya is cared for in an SOS Villages Orphanage in Mombasa, Kenya. As he heads towards adulthood we will soon have to decide whether we will continue to fund him, dependent on what further educational opportunities arise and level of  local support.
