A FORMER Kelly College student is set to hitchhike his way to Morocco in aid of Link Community Development charity and appeals for donations. Sam Donnison from Tavistock (pictured left), who is currently at Leeds University studying Geography, plans to hitchhike from England to Morocco during Easter. The Morocco Hitch is a sponsored event which has been running since 1990. It is Link?s largest annual fundraising event. Participants are mainly university students but the hitch is open to anyone who likes a challenge. Hitchers set off from the UK and thumb lifts for 1,600 miles down through France and Spain to reach the shores of North Africa. Link?s mission is to improve the potential of disadvantaged people in Africa to gain meaningful employment by sharing and developing appropriate skills through education and training. Sam, 19, said: ?This is something I really want to do. It?s a random adventure. ?You can bump into friends along the way and it?s all endorsed by the UK Government. It?s safe.? If anyone wishes to donate money contact Sam on 07921 705953 or send it to his address: 1 Deacons Green, Tavistock, Devon PL19 8BN.
