\u00a31500 raised to support education sponsorship in a walking challenge.\u00a0 Soroptimists completed a walking challenge to sponsor a woman’s education in Cambodia and raised around \u00a31500.<\/p>\n

Eight club members from the Soroptimist International Club of Chester, one friend, one Soroptimister and at least two dogs spent the month of May walking in all weathers and at all hours of the day and evening, to complete the challenge of covering 100 miles each in order to raise money to change someone’s life.\u00a0 We are aiming to provide enough money to support a young woman from Cambodia in her university education Supporting Education for Chanta in Cambodia | Blog | SI Chester (sigbi.org)<\/a> with the help of Cambodian Community Dream Organization<\/a><\/p>\n

We are thrilled to confirm that we all did it! (including the dogs). We raised over \u00a31100 through Just Giving plus a number of cash donations.<\/p>\n

All in all, we\u2019ve raised an amazing amount that surpassed our expectations and we are well on the way to sponsoring our Cambodian student for the first two years of her university course.<\/p>\n

Huge thanks to all our sponsors and well done to all the walkers (in particular the dogs). We have been nursing sore feet (and paws) as we bask in the warm glow of success of raising \u00a31500 to support the sponsorship in a walking challenge of the education of Chanta and we are now enjoying a well-deserved G &T or, for some, a very large dog biscuit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
