Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I've just published my first book 'Brighde's Cave' www.zidanepress.com. To celebrate I'd like to raise money for impoverished Mothers and streetkids of Bangladesh to start a Healing Arts project to begin the process of healing and offering therapies to help them overcome thier challenges and add to their quality of their life.

The UK based 'Sreepur Village, Bangladesh' funds and oversees 'Shishu Polli Plus' (translated as Childrens Village Plus) a small non-religious, non-political organisation based in Sreepur, rural Bangladesh. SPP works with destitute mothers and their children to give them the health, knowledge and skills thay need to function independently in society. At the moment over 100 mothers and 450 children are supported by SPP. As a grass roots organisation we respond to local need and run other related programmes such as supporting vulnerable (eg trafficked or abandoned) children and fostering. We provide safety, a loving environment, food, clothing, education, and vocational training so that the people who come to us can look forward to independent lives in their communities.

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.
