<p>Dear friends and family,</p> <p>Thank-you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I have decided to try and do something brave in the hope that I can raise as much money as possible for this fantastic charity, Child's i Foundation.&nbsp; This is a charity very close to my heart, as I have watched my truly inspirational best friend Lucy go through the arduous process of setting up this charity and moving to Uganda to operate it.</p> <p>In Uganda poverty, disease and violence are rife &ndash; which leads to hundreds of children being abandoned every year. Child&rsquo;s i Foundation is helping solve this endemic problem.</p> <p>"<em>Our mother and baby centre gives vulnerable mothers the support they need to keep their children; our transitional home and family support centre provides quality short-term care for babies; while our placement programme ensures every child in our care grows up in a loving family in Uganda</em>".</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&amp;v=-Bw4MG7nXZA">http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&amp;v=-Bw4MG7nXZA</a></p> <p>In the last 6 months the charity has&nbsp;set up two centres, and both are already full to capacity.&nbsp; So please dig deep and sponsor me to help Lucy and her fantastic team of volunteers.</p> <p>Thank-you again,</p> <p>Em x</p>
