Lakewood Asset Management Supports Childreach International

L

Lakewood Asset Management would like to congratulate Kyra Lamont and the rest of the Childreach International team for their recent fundraising hike to Kilimanjaro.

Lakewood recently sponsored Kyra Lamont, a psychology student of the University of Dundee, to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in support of Childreach International. On the 1st of August the whole team managed to make it to the summit after an adventurous and testing four and a half days hike. Overall the group managed to raise a phenomenal £40,000 for Childreach, to help rebuild a school in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Kyra told Lakewood she was delighted with how the trip went and particularly proud to see the whole team make it to the summit, especially after two members fell ill on the way. The climb saw the group take the Machame Route, a popular but tough route with steep climbs, usually undertaken by seasoned hikers. The challenge of the route however, was more than made up for by the views from stunning Shira Plateau and the Barranco wall where the group stopped to camp on the way.

Kyra personally raised an impressive £2600, with Lakewood Asset Management contributing £500 for her inspiring efforts. Enthused by her trip, Kyra looks forward to getting involved in more charity work in the future.

Lakewood is proud of the team?s achievements and the fantastic amount raised for such an important cause. Childreach International works in partnership with local communities in the developing world to help improve children?s access to healthcare, education, and child rights and protection. The money raised by the team has already been put to good use, transforming Lotima Primary School, located at the foothills of Mt Kilimanjaro. With the newly raised funds the school has been able to attend to the building?s much needed construction work and they have had their kitchen refitted and classrooms refurbished.

We would like to congratulate Kyra and her team for their efforts and Lakewood encourages all investors to support the good work that Childreach International is doing around the world. You can visit them at www.childreach.org.uk
