DCF Charity Expedition Update
03-12-2012 -
This weekend was the kick-off of the Antisana Charity Expedition, with the summits of Pichinchas and Corazón.
Besides the 10-day Antisana Charity Expedition,
with two international participants, Andeanface - in collaboration with
British School Quito (BSQ) - has also organized three sub-programs:
these are mountaineering challenges for one day, especially set up for
the parents and teachers of BSQ who live in Ecuador and are limited in
time. Up till now already 25 BSQ participants are enrolled and have each
committed to raise at least USD 200.00 for DCF. The Parent-Teacher
Association (PTA) is closely involved in collecting funds and every
participant is supported by one of the classes of BSQ.
On Friday 16 November, the BSQ participants were
introduced during the annual Bonfire Night and the raffle of a t-shirt
with signatures of the national soccer team already resulted in USD
3,540.00.
One of the teachers, Steve Tober, is sponsored by
the Ecuadorian sportswear store Equipos Cotopaxi for USD 200.00. The
other participants will receive 10% discount on all products in the
store during the upcoming week.
Explorer, a store specialized in trekking and
climbing gear, has donated USD 500.00 in vouchers for the participants
to shop in their stores. In this way, they can prepare for their sport
challenges in an optimal way!
We are Andeanface, BSQ, Equipos Cotopaxi and
Explorer extremely thankful for their involvement and wish all
participants good luck!!!
