Madeleine Wood, seasoned Kilimanjaro climber, is running the Edinburgh marathon on Sunday 31st May 2009 - and all sponsorship is for the Amani Children’s Home. Here is more info on the Edinburgh Marathon.

The Birmingham Navigator student group has been putting on a number of pub quizzes and all the money we have raised goes to the Amani Children’s Home. The students are very supportive of the cause and we are aiming to raise £500. Students do not generally have a lot of money, but they are keen to show off their talent for remembering trivia and pub quizzes are popular! There are always a number of rounds and we all have our specialist areas!

We have attracted around 30 students to each quiz and they cheerfully bring food and given spare change to support the Amani children. The Amani video always brings the cause to life and reminds us of why we are fundraising. Some of our students have visited the kids and spent time at Amani. They love to be reminded of their time there and tell the others about their trip.

The pub quizzes are great for our community of students and we enjoy them! We get to meet new students, have a great time, all the while raising money for a cause we really care about. Next one will be in the Autumn term…let us know if you’re interested in attending!
