Story

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>The El Shaddai Charitable Trust, also known as ChildRescue, is a lesser known charity based in the south of India, with a mission for ensuring equal opportunities for all children, regardless of race, caste, religion, community, ability or economic status.&nbsp;</p> <p>I came accross this charity several years back when i was living in Goa. My intention was to volunteer my services, although I never did mainly due to beaches, hangovers and general laziness. Anyway, I have decided to commit to this event based on the fact that I can, and therefore I should. Attempting to better my own life and the lives of others, is as good a reason as any.&nbsp;</p> <p>During my time on the streets i will not be eating anything. However, i will be taking with me a selection of food suppliments, which i will use in order to keep nourished. Other than that I will be drinking milk and perhaps the occasional cup of tea (milk, 2 sugars), should anyone be kind enough to bring me one ;)</p> <p>I will spend my time mostly reading, meditating and encouraging people to donate to the charity.&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
