When they have achieved an education, earn their own income and control their own lives they can eat better, stay healthy and enjoy life like those more fortunate. Even more when they possess these crucial tools and life chances, which are a vehicle in the crusade for success, they themselves are benefitted just as much as they benefit the people and systems around them. </span></span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">This summer I'll be participating in the Reading University volunteer </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">expedition to the remote region of Transylvania in the </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">impoverished country of Romania. The four week </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">expedition will consist of me working with </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">vulnerable </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">orphans as well as gaining an insight to the many issues these unwanted children are faced with in their everyday lives. </span></span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Because of all of YOU I am the third person to raise the highest amount of money for the charity and towards achieving the idyllic situation outlined above. I can&rsquo;t express how overwhelmed I am with the ample amount of support and munificent donations people have pledged towards this cause and continue to. I therefore pledge a promise in exchange for everything everybody involved has offered; my promise is to ensure that I make a difference, improving the lives of these waif ones within the orphanage and see a development take place. To nurture and encourage them into acknowledging the chances they DO have because of good people like you and to place them as a sincere priority to offer them comradeship. </span></span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Your donations will enable me to </span><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">aid those within the cycle of poverty</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> <span>through offering my support to developing their home. </span></span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">A fraction of your donation </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">will contribute to the costs of my travel and accommodation and the remaining funds will be retained as a donation by the charity and used for the benefit of the disadvantaged community.</span></span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">I intend to continue updating this page to keep on informing everybody interested on the progression of the program.</span><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Y</span><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">ours sincerely, </span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Yasmin.</span></span></span></p> <font face="Times New Roman"> <p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p> </font></span></p> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> <p>&nbsp;</p> <font face="Times New Roman"> <p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p> </font></span>
