My Personal Message

Hi there,

Thank you for visiting my personal fund-raising page. I'm taking part in a trek through the Simien mountains in Ethiopia this October. The aim is to raise funds that, through the Self Help Africa charity, will be used to support projects improving the lives of the people in the Sodo region of Ethiopia. Eight of us are going on the trek and each of us is funding the cost of the trip ourselves, so all donations received will go directly to the Self Help Sodo project.

This is one of a number of projects being undertaken by a local community group in the town of Skerries, County Dublin (Skerries / Sodo Group). You can find out more about the trek and about the Skerries / Sodo Group on our website, www.skerriessodo.org.

You can donate using the "sponsor me now" button below via credit or debit card. You can be assured that your transaction on the mycharity.ie website is very secure. You will automatically receive an e-mail from me thanking you for your support, and acknowledging the amount of your donation. Any donation no matter how small is hugely appreciated.

Many thanks in advance for your support, it is greatly appreciated.

Best Regards
Evelyn
