I survived 110km










I can't describe the Makgadikgadi Pans in words. So I'm just going to post photos. The walk itself was tough. The original route was wet so the alternative route we took was only 110km. We couldn't imagine walking for 40 more km....

The money raised will go towards local NGOs and supporting the youth leadership programme.

Thank you to all Y Care supporters:
Elyse Redden, Marc Nameri, Grace Boyle, Susan Pogorzelski, Renjie Butalid, Nathalie Meurens, Tong Ziming, Samantha Karol, Carlos Miceli, Ben Huang, Pingbu Loke, Gertrude Wong, Alfe Clemencio, Myroslaw Tataryn, Hsiao Tung Lin, Shuxian Lin, Andrew Sin, Patrick Cheung, Nick Petten, Ali Suleiman, Stephen Perelgut, Fion Ho, Charles Chan
Each of you made a difference.
