Dearest Family and Friends

Happy New Year with lots of good wishes the New Year.

Mahmood Nasim and Aliya have returned after 10 gruelling days of long journeys, lots of rain and 6 days of intense hiking in the Isalo National Park in Madagascar.

Many of you promised to sponsor us and we would like to achieve our target. We can only do it with your support. Focus, which is affiliated with the Aga Khan Development Network (www.akdn,org), is an international group of agencies which provides emergency relief after man made and natural disasters in the developing world.

Please dig deep and support this worthy institution and sponsor projects which really do make a difference in the  developing world.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Focus Humanitarian Assistance Europe will receive your money faster and, if you are a taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Alternatively, if you’d like to sponsor us offline you can send a cheque payable to Focus Humanitarian Assistance Europe.

Please sponsor us now so that we can participate in providing a better future for people in the developing world. Furthermore through Focus we will be facilitating people’s transition to sustainable self-reliant, long-term development.

If you would like more information about Focus or the hike, please go to www.akdn.org/focus OR http://www.hike4life.net.

Please be generous so we can jointly achieve more than our target.

Yours sincerely,

Nasim, Mahmood & Aliya Allibhai
