Two British tourists are travelling by bicycle from London to other parts of the world to raise funds in support of Childreach International, an international non-governmental organization (NGO). Alan Wells, 25, and Ian Mowbray-Williams, 24, who are expected to raise 10,000 pounds have spent 150 days roving since they left London on May 31, this year. The British citizens who arrived in Tamale, the Northern Regional capital, on Monday morning after travelling 10,814km through fifteen countries told GNA the trip is a joyous and great exploration and adventure, especially, when they reached the Paga crocodile pond, where they touched and sat on crocodiles. The countries included England, Belgium, France, Spain, Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal, Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso and Ghana.The tourists would continue their journey from Ghana through Togo, Benin and Kenya to South Africa to witness the World Cup scheduled for June 2010. The British nationals said they have so far raised 7,500 pounds and are expecting to exceed their target. Country Coordinator of the NGO, Mr Frederick Sarfo, said the British nationals decided to support the NGO because it is credibly operating in all the 13 countries. He said the NGO, which is currently supporting educational projects, has recruited 60 volunteer teachers to work in the Savelugu/Nanton Municipality. Mr Sarfo noted the NGO has also cultivated soya beans and maize and the produce would be distributed to people in the district as well as support the School Feeding Programme. The Municipal Chief Executive, Prince Askia Mohammed donated GH¢200 to the tourists when they called on him on their way to Tamale. The British nationals, who said they would visit tourist sites during their two weeks stay in Ghana, have continued their journey to Accra.Source: GNA
