Dear Family and Friends,
We have been researching about Cambodia the last few months as we head there in November for a family holiday.
Most of our discussions have been about the culture, the temples and the people. Cooper has shown particular interest in what people eat, play with and where they go to school.
When he discovered that many children cannot go to school as they have no way to get there or cannot afford to buy books and food he really wanted to do something about it.
He has been saving up money in a money box but he wanted to do something special.
Cooper has decided to do a 1km walk on October 24th. Walking 1 kilometre in a walker is no mean feat! He is training hard already.
I have set up a sponsorship page where funds go directly to the Organisation " NEW HOPE" that Cooper is supporting.
The directors of the organisation have contacted Cooper and invited him to spend the mornings with them in the classroom and will invite us to the local village to see where the money that Cooper raises will go too.
Please support Cooper to support this wonderful program if you are able too. Please join us on the day too for a celebratory BBQ afterwards.( details to come)

Love Bron, Andrew, Cooper and Pepper.
Share as we celebrate life with three kids, disability and our love of travel and adventure.
