Thank you ALG Team @ JP Morgan Challenge 2014

The ALG Team ran London's JP Morgan Challenge on the 10th of July to finance the running costs of the two ALG pre-schools in Gaza, Mozambique, raising an amazing £5'688 (with Gift Aid) in donations. 

For an annual cost of £81 per child at EFI and £84 per child at ESC, ALG finances 2 meals a day, educational materials, uniforms, and the support of teachers, under the direct supervision of our Local Partners Granma Etelvina (EFI) and Sister Aparecida (ESC). The ALG pre-schools relieve local poverty and promote a childhood with education for very young impoverished children.
Thank you for contributing towards 70 young children attending a WHOLE year of school & meals in 2014! 

ALG has more charity races ahead including the Royal Parks Half Marathon 2014 and, of course, the JP Morgan Challenge 2015. 
Contact us if you want to join one of our teams!
