From Zero to Alto in 10 weeks!
Dear friends, family and colleagues
I'm taking part in a Community Choral Project at St Luke’s, Holloway to sing ‘Messiah’ on 6 December 2009, to raise funds for the Street Child World Cup in Durban, South Africa in March 2010.
100 million children worldwide live on the streets. The level of abuse these street children suffer is even higher around major sporting events, as host authorities seek to clean up the streets with enforced round-ups. The Street Child World Cup seeks to ensure that the 2010 South Africa World Cup is not remembered for the abuse inflicted on these children, but because of the long-term changes for street children.
8 football teams of street children will be coming to South Africa from Brazil, India, Nicaragua, Ukraine, Philippines, Tanzania, Vietnam and the UK.The children will receive football coaching, training in advocacy, communication skills and children’s rights, and a chance to work with an international team of artists to tell their stories in creative and imaginative new ways.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’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’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now. Thank you for your support!
