'Yes' day challenge
Why not take on a ‘Yes’ Day Challenge? Don’t say no, say yes! Set some ground rules, and say yes for a day where you would normally say no.
Channel your inner positivity like Josefina*, raise some cash and help children across the world bounce back after a tough year.

Challenge yourself to a
Read-a-thon
Make your world a little bit bigger and a little bit brighter this summer, and immerse yourself in a read-a-thon. In the last year, millions of children have fallen behind with their learning. Let’s make up for lost time like these children and their mothers in Vietnam, and get reading! Challenge yourself: how many books can you read this summer?
If you have a little bookworm in your life, check out Wonderbooks - our very own monthly children's book subscription full of beautiful, inspiring stories from across the world.

Summer Sports Challenge
Have you been following the football and tennis? Or maybe you’re excited about the Tokyo Olympics? Whatever sport floats your boat, set yourself a challenge doing something you love.
Whether it’s 500 star jumps or challenging yourself to complete as many sporting activities in one day, your efforts will make sure more children like Karlina are free to play. We supported her through our Coaching for Life programme in North Jakarta, Indonesia. “Football helps me channel my energies, I feel like I can take on the world.”
