Run Completed!

So finally my days and days of practice paid off. I was able to complete my 10 KM  run in 1 hr 17 minutes which is not bad considering that this is the first time I ever participated in a run :). During my initial practices I could not run more than 2 km at a stretch! On the final day also, my legs almost gave up towards the end but the spirit of all those kind hearted people who donated for my cause kept me going on. I heartily thank all my donors and wish them good luck in their life.

Run For Nepal

Heya ppl,

I have registered to run 10 km SAFRA Singapore Bay Run to raise money for Child Education in a remote Nepalese Village using the Future's Village project. I will also be part of the team visiting the village for a week to teach the kids, distribute stationary, books etc and manage minor developments in the village.

How can you help?

What is the money used for?

• My team will be heading to the village in Nepal in October (100% self sponsored) to teach the children for a week and to ensure that the money is put to good use by the organization.
• $50 will sponsor one child's education for a full year.
• $50 will help improve one family's sanitary conditions by building them a toilet.
• $400 will cover the cost of one child's high school education.

My Target: £750
