<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>As many of you will know, I am taking a sabbatical this year, and as part of this I will be spending 10 weeks volunteering for the FutureSense Foundation in Tanzania. I will be working with 10 women impacted by HIV/Aids who have been identified to be recipients of a micro grant to enable them to start a business to secure a future for them and their families. I will be training and mentoring them to ensure that their business has long-term sustainability. In order to raise the money required for the micro-grants (and more!), I have committed to climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.</p> <p>Please note that I am personally bearing all the costs associated with climbing Kili so any funds raised will go directly to the charity, and more importantly to the local communities the charity supports (including the women I will be working with in Tanzania).</p> <p>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.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
