I am climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in August for the charity Childreach International, I have to raise around £2,500 and I am looking for quirky ways to get this money. So I thought I would post this lovely Brookes SU pen online and see who wants to trade it with me, I will then continue to trade up and up until I have something big enough at which time I will then auction the final item to the highest bidder to raise money for Childreach.
The idea comes from the story One Red Paperclip by Kyle MacDonald who traded from one red paperclip to a house within 15 trades. Obviously my expectations aren't quite that high but anything you can give would be amazing - bearing in mind this is all for charity.
The charity I am raising money for is called Childreach International who are a development charity that believe all children should have the opportunity to unlock their full potential in life.
They start from the bottom up, working in partnership with local communities in the developing world. They address children’s most immediate needs, improving access to education, improved health, and greater child rights and protection.
They currently operate in Tanzania, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Cambodia and Bangladesh.
