4 day's left until Emma’s marathon challenge

January is a month of resolutions but for some the resolutions were made months ago and now is a time for the final push. This is true of Emma Taylor who will be embarking upon the arduous Portland Marathon this weekend in support of our Children's Project in Villa Maria, Peru. The children of Villa Maria live in one of the largest shanty towns in the world and suffer from the crippling effects of poverty which includes limited access to education.

Emma's support will help run year round activities and after school clubs for these children and will support the Quest school where 100 children receive a free or subsidised education which would otherwise be unavailable to them.

Below is a video of the school, where the children are thanking their sponsors La Vida and Watson Wyatt for their support.
