About

Running has always been close to my heart and I could not find a better way to give back to the people of the country I now call home than by combining my passion for running, to raise funds and empower the dreams of young children who live in abject poverty on the island. Please open your hearts and wallets to support my cause. A little about the charity house I am supporting: The T.E.A. Project provides free pre-schooling, empowerment training, after-school support programs, a daily Food Programme, and a Saturday Service Programme for adult community members and unemployed youth; from The Cloud - a visionary Children’s Empowerment Centre in Kithulmulla, Galaha, Sri Lanka. The Cloud supports disadvantaged children & young people from poor tea plantation communities, extending support to children nationally and grassroots N.G.O.s, education service providers, orphanages, and government schools. The T.E.A. Project develops ambition, practical skills, knowledge, and essential opportunities for underprivileged children and their communities. Established in 2014, The T.E.A. Project has donated frontline empowerment training to thousands of children and professionals across the island. The Project is secular and donates services to children from the poorest communities, regardless of cultural or religious background. (www.theteaproject.org)
