Charity Hitchhike to Morocco/Prague. Where Will the Road Take You?

This Easter why not put those itchy feet to work for a good cause?

Feature by Philippa Hill | 05 Jan 2011

For the past 19 years almost 7,000 people from all over the UK have spent their Easter break hitchhiking to either Morocco or Prague. Last year alone the hitchers raised over £500,000 for Link Community Development. LCD works to provide sustainable education in Sub-Saharan Africa. For LCD the work isn’t done when the building’s finished – they work with governments, teachers, local communities and children to identify ways to improve and develop schooling and education. 

 The Hitch is open to anyone over the age of 18 and you can start from anywhere in the UK. So whether you’re a student or not, get involved in the Hitch this year and raise some money for a great cause! As one of our hitchers last year said, “For me, hitching was perhaps the most incredible experience of my life, and one of the things I’m most proud of accomplishing. It has given me countless stories to tell, and memories that I will never ever forget. I can’t wait to do it all over again!"
