A very intensive trip: A deep dive into Street Child's work in Sierra Leone, insights into local culture and meeting local people, an inspiring group of international charity runners, a vibrant (and hot) race day, complemented by a relaxing day in a nice beach resort - and all of this perfectly organized by a highly engaged Street Child team!

Had to most incredible experience! First time travelling by myself outside of Europe. Met so many like minded people, it was an unforgettable experience and learnt so much! Amazing and friendly staff that made you feel safe!

I participated in the cycling challenge of the SL Street Child Marathon Event 2024 and had a great time. It was a beautiful route and a great opportunity to participate in the event by bike. However, the initial description in the brochure that we will ride in a group together was not realised. We were rather scattered in small groups. During the second loop I was riding by myself. I would have preferred to actually ride in a group for more team spirit, joy, and safety. It is my recommendation for next year to really organize the cycle challenge as a group. For the second loop on my own, the ambulance was following me. When I stopped to drink water, the driver came out, peed next to me and asked me for my phone number. I felt this was a bit inappropriate and unprofessional from his end. All in all, thanks for the great experience. I will sign up again and look forward to meeting new biking buddies :).
