My Story
After taking a break from charity running for a few
years, I'll be running the Ankur Wat Half Marathon in Cambodia next month to
support The Indochina Starfish Foundation (ISF), a charity which helps
some of the poorest, most disadvantaged children in Cambodia. Through its education and football (soccer)
programmes, IFS works to develop healthy, educated and confident young
Cambodians with career opportunities which can allow them and their families to
escape the cycle of poverty which still blights many in Cambodian society. In addition to education IFS looks after the
children’s health and monitors their welfare, currently looking after 225,
which they hope will grow to 450 students by 2016. IFS’ football programme also operates a
football league, which operates for 6 months a year and hosts two annual
tournaments held in March for boys and girls.
In addition to giving these kids a much needed outlet to have fun and be
healthy, the platform is also used educate these young boys and girls about the
dangers of alcohol, gambling, drugs, gender equality, domestic violence and
human trafficking.
