2.  WOHAA stands for the Wings Of Hope Achievement Award.  It is an award which allows young intellectual people to showcase their fund-raising skills through a variety of activities, however “crazy”, as quoted by the official website.  Some fundraisers in the past have included sky-diving and a sponsored head shave!

3.  There are six categories for the winners of this competition: 1. Most innovative team 2. Most awareness raised 3. Most funds raised 4. Best presentation 5. SPEAK OUT 6. Overall best team/individual  The six winning teams of these categories are the semi-finalists and get invited to speak at the House of Lords and show their “WOHAA Journey” in a scrapbook, PowerPoint presentation etc.

4.  The overall winners get a trip to India where they see how the money which they have raised affects many children’s lives.  The money goes to develop education in India and Malawi where the rate of education is damaging to the country.

5.  We have come up with many different ideas, mainly based on what we are good at as individuals.  We are doing: 1. A Sponsored Run/Walk (5 Km) 2. A Sponsored Swim (2 Km) 3. A Sponsored Dance (Dance-Off) 4. An Archery Showcase 5. A Sponsored Cycle (5 Km) 6. A Cake Sale (Home-Baked)

6.  Our run which was 5 Km long was held in Ealing.  We started off at 2 o’clock and 3 of us finished in 32 minutes. Everyone finished in 40 minutes.  We raised around £100 just from this event and we are expecting more in the future.

8.  You can help children in India and Malawi who are deprived of an education, one of the most important things in life.  A quote “give a man a fish and you feed him for a day but teach the man how to fish and you feed him for life”.  We hope you can give some money to our WOHAA group to help people in India and Malawi.  Donate generously here:  http://www.justgiving.com/Ed-Spread http://www.justgiving.com/Ed-Spread  Please mention ‘Abhinav’ in the text while donating.
