<p><strong>Dear friends and family,</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>As some of you already know <strong>I am heading to Nepal this May</strong> to teach jewellery for the the Esther benjamin's Trust, a charity supporting the countries poorest children. Their work rescues and supports victims of&nbsp;trafficking, former street children and dependants of prisoners.</p> <p>I will be working on a fairly new initiative <strong>to teach young adults the skills to make a living by making their own jewellery</strong>. The workshop has been in place since August and is already successfully selling jewellery in tourist spots around Kathmandu and has begun to sell in the UK.</p> <p>I would like to ask for your support, the charity has asked me to raise a donation to got towards their work in Nepal. As an added incentive (as if you will need one!) I have made three pieces of jewellery and <strong>everyone who donates will have the chance to win</strong> one! If you donate online or to me in person you will receive a raffle ticket so please leave your number so I can get in touch with you.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I really would appreciate any donation that you can make however big or small. <strong>The winners will be selected on 16th of April.</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>For more infomation about the Esther Benjamin's Trust please visit</strong></p> <p><strong><a title="The esther benjamin's trust" href="http://www.ebtrust.org.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.ebtrust.org.uk/</a></strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><a title="fiona mcalear website" href="http://www.fionamcalear.co.uk" target="_blank">www.fionamcalear.co.uk</a></strong></p>
