Dear friends

As you may know, in May/June 2010 I will be volunteering with CINI which helps poor mothers and children in India.  In particular, I will be working at the charity's Emergency Ward and Nutrition Rehabilitation Centre - helping children afflicted with malnutrition and related conditions. Malnutrition is a serious problem in India, killing 6000 children everyday (more than 4 per minute!).

I will be keeping a blog, which you can read at http://caroline-cini.blogspot.com/   Hopefully, this will give you a better sense of how your support is enabling CINI to do vital work such as helping the poorest of families find sustainable ways to break free of the inter-generational cycle of poverty, malnutrition and ill health.

I would like to thank unreservedly those who generously donated in response to my sponsored fast appeal in December.  After giftaid and matching of funds, you raised £1410 for CINI, money which will be very much appreciated by the recipients in India. 

As that appeal was so successful, I am now setting up this justgiving page for those who feel they would like to continue to support CINI, or who have friends who would like to give.

A pound goes a very long way in rupees so, whatever you are able to donate, your support will help CINI to help mothers and children break free of the inter-generational cycle of poverty.

Donating through JustGiving is simple and secure. Once you donate, JustGiving will send your money directly to CINI. If you are a UK taxpayer, JustGiving will also ensure Gift Aid is reclaimed on your donation.

Thanks so much for your support

PS: I will be covering all my own costs - so ALL the money raised through this page will go to the charity.
