We raise money for the day to day running of the 'Serenje Orphans School Home' in Zambia, this is the orphanage which was founded by our colleague Kevin Gilbert, and which is supported here at CdL by students in ZOA (Zambian Orphans Appeal).

As part of this project a group of teachers and a few students will be cycling around Lac Leman on the 21st and 22nd of May, a trip of 190km (Tour du Léman). Have a look at the orphanage website. http://www.zoaonline.org/ 100% of the money raised will go directly towards the actual running of the orphanage. The kids at the School and I thank you in advance for your donations.
