Jacky needs your support on the GREAT CAMBRIDGE JUMP on 6 March 2011!
Hi everyone! Welcome to my fundraising page. On 6 March I will be taking up a challenge-of-a-lifetime - leaping from 10000ft+ into the blue sky and falling towards the hard ground at some 120 mph! That sounds like a crazy thing to do for leisure but I am only doing this for a good cause. With YOUR support right now, my one small step out of the plane will mean one big leap for the disadvantaged children!
This is because I am fundraising for HOPE for Children, who aims to help orphaned, poor and exploited children around the world. For 15 years, HOPE has helped thousands of disadvantaged children in some 30 countries including Ghana, India, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, the UK and China. Just to name a few of their ongoing projects right now: flood recovery in Sri Lanka, tackling children exploitation in Ghana, education and shelter for street children in the Philippines, and YangAi club for children welfare in Guangdong, China.
Your donations can definitely make an impact:
Give £10 and a child in Sri Lanka will get enough food for a month.
Give £20 and a children centre in South Africa will get enough teaching supplies for the entire term.
Give £30 and 6 children in Pakistan will be able to stay warm with enough clothing.
Even £1.50 can pay for de-worming treatment for 20 children in Uganda!
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.
Now that I have promised to get bullied by gravity and to have my face smudged by the wind, I sincerely hope you could join me to do something for those who have a less privileged childhood than ours. Offline donations are also welcomed!
That's all I have got to say here. Reach me on facebook if you have any questions!
Jacky
