10K for cows and cuy - Ecuador

Whilst Sophie Williams, friend to GVI Phoenix projects across Central and South America, is back in the UK, she is still thinking about the kids over here and raising money for them.

On Sunday 6th March, our Sophie will be running the 10K St David’s Day Race in Cardiff to raise funds to help ensure more children can be added to our sustainable high school funding projects in Ecuador – Plan Moo and Plan Cuy.

Please support Sophie in her efforts by logging onto her Justgiving page - www.justgiving.com/Sophie-Williams0 - and giving generously! Thank you Soph for your continued support, and a big thank you to your friends Gemma Butler and Caitlin Lewis who are participating as well.
