Running to raise funds for Mitrataa has been a popular thing recently. My last post mentioned that 10 members of staff from John Wiley & Sons' Singapore office will be doing a 10km challenge race this weekend.Well a couple of weeks ago, Claire Brown ran a 10km fun run in Scotland to raise money for us too. Claire did this to support her two friends, Rufus Stone and Katya Conway, who with their 2 daughters will be travelling to Nepal in September to live and volunteer for us for 5 months. Katya is a social worker and Rufus a children's counsellor and play therapist. They will be supporting a number of our projects through CWISH and Bal Mandir and their daughters will be attending school at Riviera, our model school.
Claire's very energetic efforts managed to raise £223 which will go towards our projects to create education and training oportunities for Nepali women and girls. So to Claire we say a big 'thank you'!
We encourage any of you who want to follow Claire's and the Wiley group's great example get in touch.
