Funds Raised

My ride has so far raised $250. Thank you for being so generous. I can donate money for the following things with World Vision:

Send a child to school for one year. $32
This includes things like a year of tuition, school supplies, and a uniform for one student.

Share of a deep well. $100
When drilling teams strike water, entire villages erupt in celebration because a clean water source cuts a community’s child mortality rate in half.

Sheep. $105
For cold, hungry families, a sheep's wool provides soft, warm, and long-lasting clothes. Sheep often give birth to twins or triplets, which can be sold at the market. Sheep provides comfort and warmth, extra money, and nourishment.

If you have pledged money and not yet sent it to me, please do so by October 10th. Thank you. (Make checks/cheques payable to R Britton).

Raising money for children

I am going to bike ride 15 miles from Bedford, through the centre of Lexington, to Arlington in Massachusetts.

I am trying to help children who do not all the nice things I have. I hope to raise money from my bike ride and send it to World Vision.

My bike ride will be Saturday, September 9th, 2006.

Can you please sponsor me?

My name is George.

My name is George. I am almost nine years old.

This is a picture of me at Yellowstone National Park in August 2005. I am standing in front of Castle Geyser.

When Castle Geyser erupts, 20 minutes of steaming hot water is thrown about 30 metres (90 feet) into the air followed by an additional 40 minutes or so of steam. It sounds like a very noisy steam train.
