Hey Everyone :)

At Christmas I will be going to India and while I am there I will be spending two weeks helping out in a girls orphanage funded by the Russ Foundation.

As well as the orphanage the Russ/Good Foundation manages a huge HIV/AIDS programme which involves significant outreach work.  The projects primarily focus on working with people who are ostracised by both their families and their community due to their HIV status and deliver a comprehensive preventative awareness programme. 

Russ also runs health clinics staffed by four community nurses covering forty villages and hamlets with a population of around 40,000 people.  TAI is a project for sex workers run by a small team of doctors, social workers and medical staff enabling over 2,000 people to access basic education, healthcare and legal rights and representation.

In September I am going to skydive to raise money for the Russ Foundation and it would be great if you would think about sponsoring me. This is a really important and worthwhile cause so any donations will be very welcome.

Thank you so much, Nathalie xxx
