I’ve started a modest monthly SO in support of this charity and also in support of my brave sister AMJ.
Good luck to you al;l.
And I speak from experience: DO NOT underestimste how cold the desert is at night!!!
Thank you so much for your support. We will wrap up warm – we will be well looked after by the Sahrawi families I’m sure. Keep an eye out for updates of our adventures on this page
