Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. Rita and I have made many trips to Brazil and in particular Bahia (Rita's home state) Brazil is a wonderful place for a holiday but it is impossible to ignore the poverty there. For a country with such riches it seems extreemly unjust, which is why we've chosen this charity. Each year instead of spending money on cards, postage and presents we have been donating to the Children of Bahia, if you'd like to contribute to this great cause we'd be very grateful.

(don't worry we are not complete scrooges! the kids & a few others in our families do get presents as well! :-)

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.
