On April 5th, Simon and Freya will be running the Paris marathon for Bridges to Community, a charity very close to our hearts. We have spent 6 summers going to Nicaragua with our dad, building houses and toilets, for those who can't. We would like to help build a more just and sustainable world through service learning and community development by raising money for those to work in developing countries—building community and changing lives.

Please make our sore legs worth it, anything will help!!

Founded in 1992, Bridges to Community develops poverty alleviation strategies with local communities in Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. Within selected regions of the two countries, Bridges works closely with community leaders to help mitigate poverty in four distinct, but overlapping, program areas: health, education, housing and economic development. All our program areas are driven by volunteer participation that incorporates service learning into the volunteers' on-the-ground experience.
