Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page...
Back in university a couple of friends and I decided that one day it would be good 'fun' to trek a mountain. Well long story short that day has come..
Although this is being done off our own accord I thought it would be an idea to also raise money for charity as there are many causes out there worthy of our attention. One of those which is close to my heart is the plight of orphans following the floods which hit Pakistan about this time last year.
The United Nations has rated the floods in Pakistan as the greatest humanitarian crisis in recent history with more people affected than the 2004 South-East Asian tsunami, the Kashmir earthquakes and Haiti earthquake combined yet so far only $3.20 has been committed per flood affected person. Pakistan has been engulfed with a mega-disaster and requires a mega-response. The immediate consequences were devastating; however flooding is a very unique kind of natural disaster, as the aftermath can do more damage than the incident itself.
The charity I have chosen has zero admin costs and hence all of the money donated goes directly to those affected. The project I intend to help fund with your help is the Orphan Care project whereby as little as £20 entitles a child to a month’s worth of care and schooling thus providing him or her with a better future.
I hope this plea appeals to you as it did to me and that you give whatever you can.
God Bless!
