Hello Family and Friends

We are a group of 6 families (12 children and 11 grown-ups) who have decided to spend a weekend cycling 20 miles to raise money for children who live on the streets in Burundi.  We range from the age of 12 years to 2 years and then the grown-ups (who are really old!) are coming with us to carry all our bags! 

Why do we want to do this? There are lots of children in Burundi in Africa who are the same age as us who don't have a Mum and Dad to look after them, or a home to live in or are able to go to school. They have to live on the street and we don't think that this is a very good thing and we want to help them. So, we want to raise some money to make sure that they have the same opportunities that we have. 

To do this we are supporting a charity called Street Action that works with a project called New Generation in Burundi.  They make sure that these children don't have to live on the streets. They give them food, a place to sleep and a place to play and go to school and sometimes they are able to find their families and are able to help them to look after them. We think that this is a really good thing so we want to help them by riding our bikes a very long way and asking you to sponsor us with some money so that we can support the work of Street Action.

Please give us as much as you can so that children like us in Burundi don't have to live on the streets anymore.

Thank you.
