The Centre wishes Anja all the best as she embarks on her journey!
Starting May 27 Anja Bakker embarks on a walk of solidarity to express her outrage over the abuse scandals. The Sexual Violence Centre is named as one of Anja charities that she hopes to raise funding for. She will be walking from St James’ Well in Ardfield West Cork to Santiago de-Compostella in Northern Spain with a heavy 26-string harp on her back. She will be singing and playing for her accommodation and supper. Click here to find out more about her journey.
