Those of you who love a good Facebook or blog stalk will know that I am currently volunteering for a children's charity in India which helps to provide an education for slum and street children in Goa.

It is a life changing experience which is hard to put into words. I feel so lucky that I am able to be part of this incredible project that is helping to change the lives of these young vulnerable children.

For a lof of you with jobs, mortgages, children and other responsibilities, giving up two months (or any length of time) to do something like this is tough although I'm sure you would like the opportunity.

Which is why I'm offering you the chance to make a difference regardless!!! Last year I started a fundraising page for the Educators Trust before I left and I raised an amazing $700. Now I'm ressurecting it and I need your help!!

Please don't just ignore this. I am living this right now and they need donations.

Please visit my blog (www.jandalssandabackpack.com) to see how your donations (no matter how big or small) will be invested. I've loaded lots of photos so please take care to look at their faces carefully and ask yourself how you can say no??

I would love to raise another $500 before my two month placement ends in three weeks.

Please!!!

It's one glass of wine or beer that you can forgo that will make so much difference!

Thank you!
