Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
I will be travelling to work in the Forever Angels baby home in November for 1 week. Our role at the home will be to teach pre school, look after the children and generally do whatever is required. Please watch the youtube video as this will give you a much better insight in to the home than any words could provide. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynlVSHsTres
My target of £1000 will only provide the home with support for just 2 months, so give generously and make a difference - I appreciate any support you can provide.
The Forever Angels Baby Home is located in Tanzania and managed by Amy Hathaway. Forever Angels Baby Home is dedicated to looking after and giving love to young orphaned and abandoned infants who have no one else to care for them.
There are thousands of orphaned and abandoned children in Africa, often due to AIDS. In Tanzania, about 10% of the population carry the HIV virus. As a result of this, many babies and young children lose their mothers whilst still nursing. Other parents are simply too sick or too poor to care for their children. Traditionally, their extended family would help support these vulnerable children, but with the AIDS epidemic effectively stripping away this support network, more and more of these babies are remaining in families that are simply unable to care for them and so they often die from starvation or disease. Others are abandoned or left in Government hospitals to die alone.
