On the 22nd December,
7 of our OSBM Youth Wing members undertook an exciting adventure from Wembley
Stadium to the London Eye, all on foot! Our aim was to raise money for the charity.
Through the sponsorships we received, we will be able support the
underprivileged in South Asia. We did this by asking our friends and family to
sponsor us for the event. As a result, we raised a staggering total of £604.

It was an exercise in
resilience and teamwork to walk 10 miles in festive outfits but we were able to
overcome the challenge.
The money we raised for this
walk was specifically for the 108 orphaned children in Swami's care in India who
lead a less privileged life than us. Our motivation was to fundraise enough to
help them continue their education which is their way out of the trap that is
poverty.
We began our adventure in
front of Wembley Stadium and headed towards our ultimate goal, the London Eye.
To keep our spirits high, the group sang songs, danced and tried to make people
smile during what seemed like a busy festive period.
After 5 hours of walking, we finally reached the London Eye. Even though we did walk for a long time, it was our group’s resilience, motivation from fellow members and the upbeat atmosphere that allowed us to overcome this challenge and become successful. All in all, we enjoyed this great day and hope to do more fundraising projects in the future
