Story

<p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: #993300;">In times of austerity, it is very easy to forget those who have less than that which we take for granted everyday. For individuals in Nepal, oral health is probably a luxury only afforded by the few.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial;">Therefore, as part of my New Year&rsquo;s resolution, I am involve with this project to raise funds to support the work of Dentaid, a charity with a mission to improve the oral health of disadvantaged communities around the world.</span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial;">&nbsp;I will also be heading to Nepal to assist Dentaid in one of their projects in April this year.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: #993300;">Following encouragement from my colleagues at the Eastman Dental Hospital, Lisa Robson (the one who set this project in motion), Doreen Matthew and Jackie Jackson, we raised close to &pound;800 through very successful cake sale, summer fete and quiz night at the hospital.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: #993300;">But I need your support now. In order to achieve a personal target of &pound;2500 for the charity, I have set up this webpage to make it easier for you to be involve and support this project.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: #993300;">To make this interesting, I am making a pledge to equal your donation (including my gift aid amount). So, please support Dentaid. </span></p> <p><span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial;">Please donate soon because time is short. I have till the end of this month (January 2012) to collect the donations.&nbsp;Every little bit counts, including yours. It takes only &pound;1 from twenty five hundred individuals to achieve this, so spread the word &ndash; email, facebook, twitter, etc.</span></span></p> <p><span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial;">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></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: #993300;">So please dig deep and donate now. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: #993300;">Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: #993300;">Best wishes,</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: #993300;">Jiann Khaw</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
