FLETCHER’S MOLOKAI PADDLE FOR ISF
FLETCHER’S MOLOKAI PADDLE FOR ISF
Story
The Molokai2Oahu Paddleboard race is the longest in Hawaii which people call 56Km of hell. The Molokai is acknowledged as the world championships of paddleboard racing and this year is being held on 29th July. Competing solo has been a dream and a goal in life that I have had since I was the age of 10. I thought I would love to not only represent my school, St Augustine’s College, Brookvale, but my also my County in this race.
I have raised enough funds for my travel and entry fee but also want to help some kids in Cambodia that I’ve heard about. The other day, our school was visited by some people from the Indochina Starfish Foundation (ISF). When one of the members spoke on how the lifestyle was for all the kids there, I thought to myself, I really want to help these people. I thought that I could get as many sponsors possible to raise as much money for the Foundation as I could. Doing this, I would complete my dream by paddling solo in the Molokai paddleboard world championships for them. I would be helping to improve the quality of life of many Cambodian children.
I’m asking people to sponsor me for every kilometre of the race; at $1 per k/m that’s only $56 or $5 per k/m is $280. All donations go directly to ISF and are fully tax deductible. Thanks for your support.
ISF - Indochina Starfish Foundation Australia
The Indochina Starfish Foundation (ISF) helps some of the poorest, most disadvantaged children in Cambodia.
ISF believes that Cambodian children living in extreme poverty can build a brighter, more sustainable future when they have access to quality education, healthcare and sport.
We offer a fast-track education programme to almost 700 disadvantaged students living in Cambodia’s capital Phnom Penh, who have either never been to school or who have had to drop out due to extreme poverty. Our programme condenses two years of education into one year to enable students to ‘catch up’ to the correct grade for their age and enter state school after completion. Once enrolled in state school, we offer students ongoing support to complete their primary and secondary education.
We also believe that valuable life lessons and opportunities can be found outside the classroom and currently run Cambodia’s largest grassroots community football programme. Opportunities to play sport competitively are limited for the majority of Cambodian children and opportunities for children with disabilities to play sport in Cambodia are almost non-existent.
Our inclusive football programme comprises almost 4,000 young players of all abilities We offer weekly training sessions and integrate social impact training, covering topics such as substance abuse, gender equality, children’s rights and many more relevant issues related to the communities where we work. In addition, we run a number of annual tournaments, festivals and a youth league.
