When Harold met Peter…

On 30 December 2013, Tearfund Vice–President, Bishop Harold Miller challenged Olympic Medalist Peter Chambers to carry water to the top of the Victoria Square shopping centre. Watch what happens…

Support Tearfund’s  “One Big Mountain” campaign which aims to bring clean water to more than 20 000 people across Africa. The campaign got of to a flying start with a donation of £150,000 from the Henderson Group. Between September and Christmas they donated 5p from the sale of every 2 litres of milk in SPAR, EUROSPAR, VIVO and VIVOXTRA stores across Northern Ireland. This will transform the lives of thousands of families in Uganda.

Previously Coleraine Olympians Peter and Richard Chambers had travelled to Uganda with Tearfund where they joined Doreen (aged 13) and Jouvllet (aged 11) on their daily 2 hour long trips to fetch water for their families. You can watch an inspirational video of their experiences here. www.tearfund.org/mountain
