Wonderful news this week!   We have just heard that the students of St Bede’s House, Worth Abbey, have adopted Kids for Kids for another year.    The world has forgotten Darfur, but not St Bede’s.    House Master Mike Mathews told us that this year the plan is to row the Atlantic!   Not literally, but with the help of rowing machines, and it is not going to be plain sailing.     In 2015 they ran to Africa (round the school grounds)  – raising £3,466 – and in 2014 they climbed Everest (up and down the house stairs!) when they raised £2,055 on top of funds they had already donated that year.     I am told Rowing the Atlantic is going to be the best yet. What these young people are doing is showing the rest of the world that they believe in sustainable development, aimed not just at ensuring children no longer suffer from malnutrition, but helping Kids for Kids to enable people to stay in their homes and not to be forced to leave, becoming migrants across the world in a desperate attempt Read more

“I am so delighted that the children at St Paul’s School in Dorking have chosen Kids for Kids as their charity” said Patricia Parker, MBE Founder.   “I visited them this week and told them how children are living in Darfur.  They were shocked and every hand shot up when I asked if they would help.   I was really impressed at St Paul’s.   I thought I was doing fairly well with PowerPoint presentations but these youngsters really understand IT.    I am sorry my sons are far too old now to go to such a lovely school – and it’s just across the hill from my house.   I hope they ask me to visit them again soon.  The children are already planning how to raise funds.  I am really looking forward to hearing their ideas. Thank you everyone, and especially their inspirational Head Richard Catchpole.”
