Children saved by a charity helping those suffering with severe burns took to the streets to raise money.

The four children completed the Monopoly Moonwalk of London in aid of the charity Children of Fire, which is based in Rickmansworth Road, Pinner.

Children of Fire has helped hundreds of children with severe burns from across Africa to get life-changing surgery and live independent lives.

The organisation, which has helped all four of the children, was founded in 1994 by Bronwen Jones, who continues to run it from her home office.

Dorah, 20, brother Sizwe, 13, along with Zanele Jeza, 11, Feleng Mahamotse, 12, covered 13 miles stopping at landmarks on the family board game Monopoly, meeting London firefighters along the way.

Ms Jones said: “It was a really great day for all the children and people were very generous in showing their support.

“It was also a great way to raise awareness of the charity and find out about what we do.

“I think for the firefighters we met, meeting the children really brought it home to them why they do their job here in this country.

“We are already organising next year’s event and the one after that. We want to expand it and get more people involved.”

One of the walkers was Wendy Ntswane, 20, said: “It was a tough walk because we went such a long way but it was definitely worth it.

“It was nice to meet with the fire fighters and people were very kind to us.

Dorah, who Bronwen met while she was visiting South Africa as reporter for The Times, was the first child helped by the charity and was severely burnt in a hut fire when she was six months old.

She had lost her lips, eyelids, nose, fingers and had burns to much of her body, but received life changing surgery in the UK and was later adopted by Ms Jones.

At the end of last year Bronwen travelled to the Democratic of Congo with eight surgeons from Italy and others from Africa where they spent a month helping more than 100 children with severe burns.

While there they treated a six-month-old baby who was severely burnt after a paraffin light fell onto its cot, setting it alight.

Speaking about the trip Ms Jones said: “It was tough trip but it was definitely a success as we helped improve the lives of so many children and I hope to be organising another trip there again for next year.”
