Story

<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Thanks for taking the time to visit my <span style="color: #993366;"><strong>JustGiving</strong></span> page.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">As many of you already know, I'm planning a trip to Uganda in March, volunteering for a local Sussex charity called the Quicken Trust.&nbsp;The charity concentrates on working in a rural village in Uganda called Kabubbu. The village is missing a generation, partly due to the AIDS virus and also Cholera, Typhoid and Malaria.&nbsp;Whole groups of children are growing up with incomplete families. The Quicken Trust initially began work with the village orphans in year 2000, and have subsequently set up both a primary and secondary school,&nbsp;</span><span style="color: #ff00ff;">water supply,&nbsp;</span><span style="color: #ff00ff;">health centre, community housing, adult literacy classes, sponsorship programme and farming initiatives. Their aim is to provide the village with an infra-structure so that the people of Kabubbu can support themselves.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">I'm joining a group of other volunteers to work in the village in whatever capacity the charity needs me. I will be paying all of my own costs for the trip, but have been asked to raise &pound;400 to help fund current projects within the community. I appreciate that the credit crunch is hitting home with everyone, and would appreciate any donation, however small.&nbsp;<span class="s1">The Trust has a highly ethical&nbsp;</span>guarantee that 100% of any donation received for a specific project will be used, in full, in Kabubbu. Their administration costs are separately funded.</span></p> <p> <p class="p1"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">I intend to produce a body of photo documentary work of the trust in action, recording the journey of charity money from donator to beneficiary.</span></p> </p> <p><span style="color: #993366;">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.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">So please dig deep and donate now</span>.</p> <p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">With many thanks,</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Claire X</span></p>
