I'll be working with teenagers who want to go to University - helping them with their confidence in presenting themselves and improving their English (and my Hindi?!)</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I'll be travelling with&nbsp;doctors, nurses, a physio&nbsp;and 2 teenagers from our Church. </span><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri', 'sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri', 'sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Asha is working to encourage young people to stay at school and has been supporting a group into college; an impressive way to provide them and their families with hope for the future.<strong><span style="font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">&nbsp;</span></strong></span><strong><span style="font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Funds that I raise will be used by Asha&nbsp;to employ more village nurses and to support teenagers'&nbsp;education. &pound;25 buys books for a year for a student!</span></strong></span></span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri', 'sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri', 'sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><strong><span style="font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> <p><strong><span style="font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">So please dig deep and donate now.
