Castlehill Housing Association - Bolivia Challenge

A sponsored Cycling and Rowing event carried out by staff and friends of Castlehill Housing Association, raised a grand total of £2,852.21 for charity Orkney Helping Hands (OHH).  Pictured above is Barbara McVean, OHH Secretary, being presented with the cheque by David Lappin, Director of Housing Services, and staff at Castlehill’s office in Aberdeen.

The Challenge took place during the months January to May 2008 and saw a team of 16 cover over 7,000 miles of land and water, from Aberdeen to Bolivia (not literally – they used rowing machines and static/road bikes!).

The OHH project that Castlehill decided to donate to is a Children’s Home in Sacaba, a poor area outside Cochabamba, South America.  They paid for furnishing the home.  There was even money left over to pay for a Food Cart for another children’s home.

OHH is a Registered Scottish Charity SC03666 whose aim is to further the health, well-being and protection of children and their families in Latin America. See their website at www.orkneycommunities.co.uk/OHH.  Castlehill Housing Association chose them as the benefiting charity for money raised because the work OHH carry out relates closely to housing and they were impressed by the direct action being taken by the charity. 

Barbara Ann McVean, originally from Orkney, lives and works in Cochabamba, South America.  She works voluntarily for OHH and locates projects locally and oversees them, ensuring the money donated is being spent properly. 

Jim McVean, Barbara Ann’s dad, also took part in the Castlehill Bolivia Challenge.  He has decided to cycle the return trip (from Bolivia to Orkney) on his own!  He has started his own challenge Jim’s Sole Trip Home, and he is well underway having cycled over 2,000 miles since the end of the Castlehill challenge.  Jim will be writing to businesses in Orkney and Aberdeen for sponsorship.
