Paddle Against Poverty

What has 176 arms, is 13 years old, travelled 1320 km, consumed 160 hamburgers and is worth $11,000? It's the 13th annual Paddle Against Poverty hosted by my local CS mission! We have successfully transitioned this from a CS event to a community event facilitated by CS. Saturday 4th May saw our biggest event ever including 15 women, many from local Boardriders, SUP riders and more SLSC support than ever before.

The conditions were once again perfect, despite howling winds at 4am that had us praying big time at 5am and they suddenly abated at dawn. Thank God. We anticipate over 100 paddlers next year. All who participated commented about how enjoyable and friendly it was. Well done Dan Hatton who headed it all up. We sponsor 5 kids with Compassion as well as sponsoring a CS aid worker in Indonesia and support to the Elevate Youth Centre Bali.
