CAMINO POR AMOR 2019
The "Camino por Amor" (walking for love) walks began in 2016 when Duncan Dyason walked from Costa Rica to Guatemala in three weeks to raise funds for the charity´s work in Central America with children and young people living on the streets and those living at high-risk of living on the streets.
The following year Duncan and Steve Poulson went head-to-head in a 100km in a day walking challenge and last year the couple challenged each other to walk from Guatemala to Honduras and vice versa in one week.
This year´s challenge is going to be one of the biggest challenges Duncan and his team have faced as they attempt a Guinness World Record, walking from Land´s End to John O´Groats and back again in just 15 days! It will be a Guinness World record first.
The walk will be a team effort this year and will include Ben Soden, Steve Poulson, Joseph Soden and Duncan Dyason. The team have to walk 24/7, achieving 108 miles per day for 15 days. The grueling walk will take them from Cornwall, through Shropshire, The Lakes, The Cairngorms and then to the furthest Northern point in the UK, only to then return back to their start point in Cornwall.
Dates: Starting at midnight on Friday 14th June from Land´s End, stopping briefly at the John O´Groats official landmark on Friday 22nd June and then returning to the start point on Saturday 29th June.
The team will update supporters with more exact arrival points at the major landmarks as well as the many towns they will pass through on their journey.
Street children are some of the most forgotten, vulnerable, and abused children in the world. Street Kids Direct is a project committed to working with and on behalf of these children and enabling them to reach their God-given potential. Our vision is to see a world where children and young people do not need to depend upon the streets in order to survive.
OUR MISSION
- To promote the plight of street children.
- To raise funds to alleviate the suffering of street children.
- To provide support, training, and advice to our ministry partners.
- To prevent more children from choosing life on the streets.
We currently partner with locally-run projects in Guatemala and Honduras. Our aim is to provide support for these projects and help them become stronger and more sustainable. We offer a range of tools and training opportunities to build capacity in those we partner with, such as child protection policies, safe working practices, financial management, fundraising, and team development.
At the heart of our ministry is the specialist mentoring program, which targets the most vulnerable children and offers them a therapeutic relationship with a caring and consistent adult who will help them make positive life choices. The methodology we have developed helps mentors understand how childhood trauma can lead a child to adopt many coping strategies that may result in negative health and social outcomes. Mentoring begins to create a safe structure for a child to explore positive alternatives and how faith in Christ can transform every area of life.
CALL TO ACTION:
Pray: That God will intervene in the lives of children living on the streets and reveal His love to them in such a way that they turn to Him and find fulness of life. Furthermore, please pray that we would be able to reach more vulnerable children and help prevent them from taking to the streets.
Give: Our local partner projects and mentor programs cannot run without your help. When you give, you are directly affecting the lives of children who need to hear the good news of Jesus and experience His healing, acceptance and love. Thank you.
