Hadrian's Wall Walk for Reuben Monareng: Nearly ready to go

As you may know, I will be walking the 180 kms of Hadrian's Wall across Britain from the North Sea to the Irish Sea. I will be accompanied by my friend Rosemary and "Daisy", a miniature version of the cow at the Aesch campus of ISB. We would be delighted if you would like to sponsor us on our challenge. Donations, however small or large, will be gratefully received. We aim to raise 20,000 Swiss Francs, in order to enhance the lives and education of the children of Reuben Monareng School, South Africa.

You are invited to transfer donations to either of the following accounts, which Credit Suisse has kindly opened to support the charity venture. All monies collected will be donated to the Reuben Monareng School to complete their building project, and we thank you in advance for your support.

Bank accounts under the name of Lesley Barron: Credit Suisse IBAN number: CH4204835004400921003 (Swiss Franc account) or CH6204835004400922001 (Sterling Account).

We start our challenge on Sunday 11th September and will be walking for 10 days - whatever the British weather sends us!!

Rosemary, Daisy and I will keep you regularly informed about our adventures and progress via this blog. We would love to hear from you at anytime.

Background to this challenge

I have had the privilege of working with the students of this South African school for the last 10 years. Over this period of time, students from ISB have visited the school and worked directly with the children. There has been a mutual benefit. The vibrancy and generosity of spirit of the African children have always had a profound impact on the ISB students and, in many ways, this has been a life changing experience for them.

When I stepped down as Director of ISB, the staff of the school generously set up a fund to initiate a new building project at Reuben Monaring School, and all contributions for this challenge will enable the building project to be completed.
