Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.  I am setting this fundraising in memory of my cousin Quentin Francis De Souza who recently passed away suddenly on 18th August 2007 aged 47.   He was such a happy person, full of fun and a witty guy who made the best of what life offered and always had a laugh and a joke to cheer people up. Like one friend put it " a little man with a big twinkle in his eye!". He was pretty excited about his first visit to Goa, India in January and loved the place. He wanted to go again but sadly will not make it.  I also know deprived children were very much one of Quentin's concerns and he would have liked to help the needy and destitute children.  So I am setting up this page in memory of him, for those who wish to donate to a charity that does so much for the little children both in India and in Kenya.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to donate: HELP A POOR CHILD will receive your money electronically and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in Gift Aid will be added to your donation at no cost to you.   So Please donate generously.

Please also look at the website www.helpapoorchild.com for details of how the money is used. More importantly they are in the process of setting up a village in Chennai for the tsunami orphans so this will help a very needy cause indeed as well as keep the memory of Quentin.

Whatever you can donate, however small, would be gratefully received as every penny counts and doing it this way, you can donate online anywhere in the world without moving from your seat.

Many thanks - Celia.

Many thanks for your support.
