The Hoja Project was set up as a UK registered charity in 2005 and since 2013 has now run under the charity registration of COCO (Comrades Of Children Overseas). COCO has supported Hoja since the very early days, so this represents no real change in the day-to-day operation of Hoja.

COCO's webpage on Hoja can be found here, and they regularly produce news on all their projects. This blog is updated on a volunteer basis, so new posts tend to be every few months.

The Durham Firewalk

...has raised over £300 on the justgiving page alone. I lost count and gave up around that point. It also seems that no one has lost the ability to walk since the event (since Saturday), so all-in-all excellent news. I'm sure Julia will let me know exactly how much has been raised from the event. They were collecting moneys at the event and handing out the sparkly new regular donation leaflets that I'd whipped up on my laptop the night before, so the possibilities are endless.

So a big THANK YOU to everyone who took part in that.

I'll update this post when we have an idea of how much was raised. And add photos if I'm sent any.

[Edit 2nd Feb: Well, I'm told the total is actually around three or four grand. Bloody marvellous. I'm dead jealous and it makes me feel quite lazy for the miniscule amount I've raised personally. Well done everyone. And thank you.]
