Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.  In October 07 I will go to the jungle in the Cachoeiras de Macacu region of Brazil to work on a farm for one week.  Since I completely pay for my trip out of my own pocket all your money will go directly to Task Brazil and will not subsidize me!

The farm is a project operated by Task Brazil where children, previously at social risk, who are committed towards their self-development, are referred from other shelters or the juvenile detention system to live at Forest House. They learn about sustainable farming techniques, develop income generating skills and participate in educational, cultural and leisure activities in the local community. They attend school and receive health care treatment.  The project is a safe haven for children aged 10­ - 14 years who have lost contact with their family or are orphans. All food produced on site is organic. Fruit and vegetables produced are also supplied to Task Brasil’s other projects.

I will be using my muscles to plant fruit trees for the future of the teenagers who live on the farm.  The trees will provide fresh & organic fruits for all of the Task Brazil projects.

Please dig deep and sponsor me online - your money will go towards the running and expansion of the farm.  With your help we can give a chance to more street children who would otherwise not have had the ability to break the vicious circle of crime and poverty on the streets of Brazil.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Abandoned Street Kids of Brazil Trust - Task Brasil will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
