A Penrith college student is walking 10-miles to school each day in May to support a charity working with primary schools in rural Kenya.
Isaac Pullan, an 18-year-old year 12 student at Ullswater Community College in Penrith, settled upon the ambitious challenge during a rare walk to school one morning in March when he realised that many young children around the world have to cover the same distance every day just to get an education.
Isaac said:
“I was inspired to walk to school that morning by wanting to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Some way into the journey, it dawned on me that a lot of young children around the globe have to walk a similar distance to attend school, and I wondered what kind of education they were walking for, what state for learning walking 10 miles each day leaves a child in, and what other factors these children have to deal with to obtain an education.”
Isaac Pullan is raising money for African Promise, a charity that works with schools in Kenya.
