<p>Welcome All.</p> <p>Between <span style="text-decoration: underline;">20th August</span> and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">11th September 2012</span> I will be trekking to <span style="color: #000000;">Mount Everest's Base Camp</span> along with some of my University of Portsmouth Collegues.</p> <p>We will be raising money for <span style="text-decoration: underline;">VSO</span> an international development charity. They succed in bringing people together to fight the forces and breakdown the barriers which keep <span style="text-decoration: underline;">impoverished communities</span> locked in the cycle of poverty generation after generation.</p> <p>Through their unique approach to development, they are changing the lives of millions around the world every day. VSO is different to most other development charities, because instead of sending money or food, they bring people together to share <span style="text-decoration: underline;">skills</span> and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">knowledge</span>. Their volunteers spark a chain reaction &ndash; their help not only supports individuals, but families, whole communities and entire countries. By working in this way, VSO create lasting change that will endure a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">lifetime and beyond, and not only a shelf life</span>.</p> <p>Please help to support me <span style="text-decoration: underline;">today</span>, and we together with VSO we can change the lives of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">millions</span>.</p> <p><span style="color: #339966;">There goes an old proverb; give a man a fishing rod, feed him for a day. Teach a man to use a fishing rod, feed him for life.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #339966;"><span style="color: #000000;">Thank you</span><br></span></p>
