My story

Unbelievable a year has past (all hair grown back!) This year instead of sending paper Christmas cards we're giving a donation to our favourite charity.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

 

 

EVA & MALCOLM TO SHAVE THEIR HEADS FOR CHARITY

We met in 1989 while travelling around India and independently we also ‘discovered’ Jack Preger’s work on the streets of Calcutta.  Eva visited the Middleton Row clinic with a friend and it made such an impression on them that they helped to start up the Swedish charity ‘Hjälp Calcutta’ when they returned home to Stockholm.  When Malcolm moved to Sweden shortly after, they realised that they both had common friends from Calcutta. 

 

In 1992 we went back to India and Calcutta.  This time with funds collected by Calcutta Rescue - Sweden that had been raised through charity sales and a fundraising party.  During this visit we both worked for a short while at the Nimtala Ghat clinic which was extremely rewarding.

 

As we are now embarking on our anniversary trip back to where we met 20 years ago we would like to do our bit to raise some money towards Calcutta Rescue which is now celebrating 30 years. 

 

We are not fit enough to do a sponsored trek across the subcontinent, run a marathon or do a triathlon but instead we will... shave our heads for charity and we hope that you will be willing to donate something towards this really good cause.  Any amount, however small or large, will be most appreciated.  We promise to post pictures, both when we are having the shave done, mid December, during the trip and when we reach Calcutta sometime during February 2010.        

 

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

EVA OCH MALCOLM RAKAR HÅRET FÖR VÄLGÖRENHET

 

Vi träffades 1989 när vi båda var ute på varsin långresa i Indien och under den resan "upptäckte" vi, var  för sig, Doktor Jack Pregers arbete med gatukliniker i Calcutta.  Eva besökte Middleton Row kliniken med en kompis och det gjorde ett sånt starkt intryck att de hjälpte till att starta 'Hjälp Calcutta' när de kom tillbaka hem till Stockholm.  När Malcolm flyttade till Sverige kort därefter visade det sig att vi hade gemensamma volontärbekanta från Calcutta.

 

1992 åkte vi tillbaka till Indien och Calcutta.  Denna gång med en donation från 'Hjälp Calcutta' som vi hade samlat ihop genom diverse loppmarknader och en välgörenhetsfest som engagerade både familj och  vänner.  På den resan arbetade vi som volontärer under en kort period på Nimtala kliniken vilket var enormt lärorikt och belönande.

 

Nu ska vi återvända till Indien igen,  20 år senare, och vi vill göra en insats för välgörenhet och vi tycker att 'Calcutta Rescue', som har nu funnits i 30 år, känns bäst för oss eftersom vi vet att de gör ett fantastiskt jobb.  De har nu även utökat verksamheten med bl.a. 2 skolor för 500 barn och 2 hantverksprojekt  för kvinnor.

 

Vi har inte tränat tillräckligt för att springa en mara, trekka över den Indiska kontinenten eller klara av ett triatlon MEN vi ska raka håret för välgörenhet!! Vi hoppas att du har lust att skänka en slant för att hjälpa oss hjälpa de som bor i slummen och på gatorna i Calcutta och inte har råd med den enklaste sjukvård.  Alla gåvor är lika mycket värda, små som stora.

 

Så fort vi kommer fram, mitten av December, kommer vi att gå till barberaren och då lägger vi så klart upp bildbevis på den här sidan, vilket vi kommer att göra under resan samt när vi når Calcutta i februari. 
 
Att donera pengar här på JustGiving sidan är snabbt och tryggt.  Din kortinformation är säker med JustGiving - de säljer inte dina kontaktdetaljer vidare eller skickar ovälkomna e-mails.  När du har sänt din gåva går dina pengar direkt till 'Hjälp Calcutta'.  Gift Aid som nämns i den engelska texten gäller bara om du bor och betalar skatt i UK. Det här är det mest effektiva sättet att skänka - vi kan samla mer, samtidigt som vi spar tid och utgifter åt 'Hjälp Calcutta".
 
Tack,
Eva&Malcolm
