Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. This year I'm feeling old and not in the mood for celebrating!  So please don't give me a birthday present, instead donate some money to HopeHIV.  (www.hopehiv.org)

HopeHIV will then go and do wonderful things for kids in Africa orphaned through AIDS.  Here is an idea of how far your money will go:

£10 can buy a month's meals for an extended orphan family or school fees for 1 month

£25 can pay for a business training course for an older orphan

£40 covers training and support for one foster parent or 1 year's supply of clothes for a South African orphan

£60 allows a child to go on a 5 day Botswana Kids' Camp offering adventure activities, bereavement counselling, group work and psycho-social support

£80 pays 1 month's salary for a teacher in Uganda

Please don't buy me any more stuff to fill up my life, donate instead!

Millions of thanks
