<p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>I - connect&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><strong>Help us - to help those - that need help.&nbsp; </strong></p> <p>Despite wealth increasing in India there is still widespread poverty.</p> <p>I -connect is a small&nbsp;charity run by six volunteer Trustees which supports projects&nbsp;in the areas of medical work, education, relief of poverty and improving the life chances of Indian people.&nbsp;</p> <p>Its aim is not just to give and then walk away, but to provide the help and support needed to generate independance for those that need it most.</p> <p>I'm one of the trustees and am travelling to Udaipur on 25 February for two weeks with my partner Iain to visit some of the communities I-connect supports. In doing so we will see how I-connect's current projects are being delivered and work with contacts there to identify how best to target any new donations to help achieve I-connect's aims.</p> <p>Several friends and colleagues have offered me donations to take to Udaipur. I've asked them instead to look out for my page on this site which provides a safer more auditable way of capturing their kind contributions whilst at the same time attracting Gift Aid.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong></strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
