Hello!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

So, as you will know by now I have been awarded a graduate bursary go to India in March 2010 with Raleigh and I need to raise £1500 on top of this bursary, to help fund their work and the work I will be doing with them there! Please visit their website (www.raleighinternational.org) to see the full details or give me a ring and I can run it by you. Basically I will be in India for ten weeks doing environmental and community work as a Raleigh volunteer working with a Raleigh team in partnership with local communities, non-governmental organisations and the government in India.

Raleigh's charitable objectives are:

1. advancement of education and global citizenship

2. relief of those in need by reason of disadvantage

3. advancement of environmental protection and sustainable community development

Raleigh India launched just over a year ago and its expeditions and volunteer projects have grown beyond all expectation. Since February 2008, volunteers in India have built 145 eco-sanitation units, dug 15km of elephant proof trenches and walked 40,000km!

In order to try and raise this money I have decided to do a days walk from one pier to the next on the South Coast of England on a cold December day! Please sponsor my Pier to Pier walk and make my Raleigh work possible by giving online to my Raleigh account here.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’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’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thankyou and thanks on behalf of all those the money will help in India too,

Kat
