Dear friends and supporters,

I am on the verge of embarking on a awesome journey - the Tuk Tuk Challenge. This test of courage spans approximately 1650 km, navigating the rough terrain with these compact vehicles that demand skills and agility beyond the ordinary. The challenges of controlling Tuk Tuks on narrow streets, amidst bustling traffic and diverse terrains, are obstacles that I embrace in solidarity with the children whose lives have been shattered by conflict.

My drive to undertake this challenging expedition stems from a deeply personal place. As a child refugee, I endured the anguish of separation, losing contact with my father for a harrowing 18 months. I know firsthand the toll that conflict can exact on innocence and the profound emotional scars it leaves behind.

The shadows of world conflicts loom large, casting despair and devastation across the globe's most dangerous regions. Children, the most vulnerable of all, grapple with the aftermath, bearing burdens far beyond their years. The anguish of losing family members or being torn from loved ones shatters their tender hearts, leaving them adrift in a sea of uncertainty and fear.

Join me on this mission of compassion and solidarity. Together, let's pave the way for a future where children are shielded from the ravages of war, where their laughter drowns out the echoes of strife. Your generosity can be the lifeline that rescues these young souls.

Let's embark on this journey together and craft a narrative of resilience, love, and healing. Together, we can be the change that these children desperately need. Join me in making a meaningful impact and let's light up the path to a safer, brighter future for all.

With heartfelt gratitude and unwavering hope,

Paresh
