Fundraising walk – Via Francigena – for Seeds of Hope Philippine project  

Earlier this year, Mr Steve Hackman and I did a presentation at each YCIS Campus in Shanghai about Seeds of Hope, which included an introduction about Mr Hackman walking the 2000 Km “Via Francigena” pilgrimage departing from the Canterbury Cathedral (in England) on 1st June, all the way to the Vatican in Rome (in Italy) which he is aiming to reach by Aug 10. There will be five of us joining Mr Hackman at the launch in Canterbury and for the first few days of the walk. I personally will also be walking into France with him for a further 5 days.

This adventure is to raise awareness for Seeds of Hope as well as solicit donations for our “Common Project” with Kids International Ministries in the Philippines.

If you’d like to make a donation yourself (highly encouraged and easy to do) or follow along with the pics we’ll be posting along the way, please check out our page:  https://simplygiving.com/seedsofhope

(All donations received through the page will be given directly to Kids International Ministries)

Mr Hackman has also been able to do a couple of promotional interviews for the Seeds of Hope walk on Radio 3 in Hong Kong as well as for the South China Morning Post.  You can view these at:

Please get the word out, the awareness up, and the donations for a worthy cause coming in

Thanks all for the many well wishes we’ve received and we look forward to sharing with you all the “tales from the trail” 😊

God Bless

Mr Chris Perks and Mr Steve Hackman
