Story

Ladies and Gentlemen

The time has come, the eye brows are going. But this will not be some drunken disaster done during a night out. I will be making this "great sacrifice" in support of the Charity Build Africa, who specializes in working with young children and communities living in the rural areas of East Africa (Uganda and Kenya). The money that you donate today will go towards creating communal libraries for multiple schools to use. Build Africa know how to make every Pound count and will insure that your donation is invested in the most effective way possible (for further inspiration have a look at their website http://www.build-africa.org/who-we-are/about-us). So please donate generously.

Along the path to reaching our goal of raising £1000 (and yes that is the price of my eye brows), I will continue to lay my hair down on the line.

At the point when we reach:
£200= I will wax my legs
£500= I will shave my head
£600= I will wax any other body hair

and finally when we reach

£700= I will shave my eye brows.... A truly hairless man 

If we could reach £1000 that would unbelievable as we would be able to fund the construction of a library in rural Uganda.    


At the end of the day I hope you all see past the entertainment of watch a man loose his one identifying feature. To understanding how important these donations are and the impact they will have in improving the lives of thousands of men, women and children.  

Thank you for your support
