Ex- Vol in Jail Break
Pete Stephens an ex-vol from India 2006 and Tim Keevil - both Bristol University students - recently came up with a very novel fundraising idea - a 'Jail Break'. The challenge is get as far as possible for your starting point in a set time, without spending any money. Last year they got from London to Poland in 36hrs without spending a penny of their own money!
Building on this success, this year they set themselves the challenge of getting from Westminster to Singapore in 6 weeks - entirely for free! SPW are delighted to announce that the boys successfully completed their challenge - with several adventures along the way - and are now back home. Particular thanks must go to STA travel who were wonderfully supportive, generously donating 2 free flights to enable the boys to get to India. SPW would like to express their thanks to STA for their generous support of this fundraising event.
Georgina Cowley - an ex-SPW vol with her university friends will be departing from South Africa in September and making the 25,000 mile journey up to Great Ormond Street Hospital in London in a bid to raise multi-cultural awareness. A2O will donate the money raised to Student Partnership Worldwide, Great Ormond Street and Hope and Homes for Children.
