Only a few hundred quid away from the target plus Jack still has to include money from his chicken dance!

 

Charitable greetings!


Thanks for at least getting this far!


As part of an epic adventure to raise a bucket-load of cash for FRANK water, Max, Jack and Sam intend to drive a rickshaw from one side of India to the other in two weeks.


The fundraiser effort will contribute funds to FRANK’s projects – they currently run 70 projects largely in Andhra Pradesh and a new effort in Orissa. 

 

With your help, they can deliver the communities access to safe water. What your money will go DIRECTLY towards:

 

·         £10 (AUD$16) will train a water operator

·         £24 (AUD$40) will provide one month of water for one family

·         £100 (AUD$160) will pay for a UV water treatment kit

 

One whole project costs ~£4000 with funds split equally between the community; the machine workers; and machine maintenance.

 

Thank you for any donation – no sum is too small. It will go directly towards a great cause and not a penny will go towards funding our journey. We will do that independently to raise awareness (as well as have fun!) and provide you with stories that you can laugh at!

 

With thanks,

 

Max, Jack and Sam
