Hi all
Please read the message below from 2 members of the Phoenix Swim Team. They will be attempting a long sponsored swim this weekend for a fantastic cause and it would be great if lots of you could come along / stay after training to support them!
Thanks :)

On the 10th and 11th of February, we will be completing a 12km and a 10km sponsored swim in order to raise funds for Tabitha, our school service. This year 81 Grade 8 students will be attempting various sponsored events such as fasts, cycles and swims. We hope to raise US$56,000, which is the amount needed to build 40 houses. In April, our group will be going to two of the poorest provinces in Cambodia (Prey Veng and Svay Rieng) to build these houses.
The Tabitha Foundation is a non-profit organisation founded by Janne Ritskes. It’s mission is to help the poorest of the poor in Cambodia on their path back to a normal life. Tabitha does this by offering a Savings Program which teaches the people to save what little money they earn. Another way Tabitha does this is by connecting with other groups and organizations for a volunteer house building program.
We will swim on Friday 10th of February at 5:00 pm (Olivia) and Saturday 11th at 8:00 am (Evie). Please come by to support us, cheer us on or swim a few laps with us!
Thank you!
Olivia and Evie
