Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Just a little bit about my upcoming challenge and why your donations however small or large can make a lasting change to these young peoples lives.

I will be working and living in rural India for 3 months from July to October as part of a volunteer group with the charity Restless Development. In India, they have been working with young people in Tamil Nadu on health issues such as nutrition, sanitation, HIV and AIDS, and livelihoods since 1985. I will be working on problems that people my age in India are facing every single day such as poverty, HIV and lack of livelihoods for young people. 

I am realistic about my expectations and don't expect to save the world in three months but if I can make one difference to one life, be it teaching a young person key employability skills or the vital importance of taking precautions to protect themselves from HIV, it will have been worthwhile.

In these tough financial times I am aware that every penny counts, however, any donation big or small means so much to me and to Restless Development. All money raised will go directly to the funding of these projects in India.

I am both excited and anxious about the journey that lies ahead and I do value and support financial or otherwise from you all.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

 

Thank you,
