Some friends of the project have come up with a very unique way to raise funds for The Children’s University. Chris and Ollie will be driving a car from London UK all the way to Mongolia in a race called the Mongol rally. They will be covering the 10,000 mile journey in a car that was built in 1965!

This amazing adventure race is completed by people like Chris and Ollie each year in order to raise money for charity. We at The Children’s University Mexico are lucky enough to have chosen by Chris and Ollie as one of the charities they are riding for. Please check out their reports and websites and, if you can, give generously towards helping them complete this remarkable journey.  

The links to their website and a travel blog they use to keep people updated on how preparations are going are listed here.

On May 19th we had our community exhibition day where all the children invited their parents to see what has been happening in the project. We had a stage set up, a gallery full of children’s work and sports demonstrations on the football and basketball courts. Parents were invited to join in and, in some cases, were even taught by their children. To see more photos, read comments from the parents of children involved and continue finding out about this excellent event visit the Events page on this site.
