Today is the last day of the Chicken Challenge! As I write, the current total has gone well above the target of 900 chickens. We now have 1148 chickens and counting! We send a big thank you to you all for your enthusiasm and generous support this year! The stories of many child- initiated events were so inspirational! Thank you, thank you, thank you! The families in Uganda will be overwhelmed by the love so many have expressed.
Be sure to keep checking our website for updates and upcoming events. The Peachey family, all 6 of them, who started OKM, will soon visit the families in Uganda.

From 6-8th July a group of guys from Christchurch Bushmead Church in Luton are going to tackle Three Peaks to raise money for the Ugandan families of Orphans Know More.

Can you tackle the Three Peaks Challenge 2007?

Take the challenge to climb the Three Peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside & Ingleborough in the Yorkshire Dales. Part of the challenge will be to raise money to enable children who have been orphaned, mainly due to HIV/AIDS, in Uganda, to gain a family, an education and have hope for the future.

Travel up Friday, set off early Saturday to climb the Three Peaks and return Saturday evening for a celebration meal, before driving home on Sunday morning. Accommodation will be in a Bunk Barn.

If you take the Challenge, your aim will be to raise £300 or more in sponsorship for the Orphans Know More charity. (more…)
