Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color: black; font-size: 9pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">As many of you know, I will be flying out to Kenya on 24 February to volunteer for the charity Hope &amp; Kindness. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color: black; font-size: 9pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><a href="http://www.hopeandkindness.org/Index.htm">http://www.hopeandkindness.org/Index.htm</a></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color: black; font-size: 9pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">I will be spending the week in Kosele, &nbsp;a small village in Western Kenya.&nbsp; </span><span class="body-normal-left1"><span style="color: #1b1b0e;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">During my time there, I will be involved in education support work with the children, IT/management training, as well as farming tasks and even helping to erect a greenhouse for the agricultural college!! </span></span></span></span></p> <p><span class="body-normal-left1"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="color: #1b1b0e;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">I feel extremely privileged to have the opportunity to visit Kosele and contribute in whatever way I can, however at the same time, I am under no illusions that it is going to be an eye opening and challenging experience! </span></span></span></span></p> <p><span class="body-normal-left1"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="color: #1b1b0e;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">The amount Hope &amp; Kindness have achieved since it was founded in 2002 is remarkable, however they rely heavily on donations in order to continue the development of Kosele.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any donation, no matter how big or small, really will make a difference.&nbsp; Also, Salesforce.com (my employer) have agreed to match fund every penny I raise, therefore every donation will be doubled!&nbsp; </span></span></span></span></p> <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>Thank you so much for your support!!</p> </p>
