My story

 

We are going to be raising funds for the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF).The 10km Partnership Walk & Run 2009 is taking place on Sunday 19 July in Regents Park. All of the costs of this year's event have been underwritten so all sponsorship monies and funds raised on the day will go towards the three projects we are supporting in Health, Education and Rural Development in India, the Kyrgyz Republic and Madagascar. See below for more info.

 

"There will never be peace on earth..... until there is peace between the religions."

 

The Aga Khan Foundation (AKF), the event organisers, do not use faith, race, gender etc. to discriminate against who benefits from their projects, which is the philosophy that unites this team. 

Partnerships are one of the UK Millennium Development Goals, and Partnerships between those of different faiths, and of none, play a pivotal role. It is in this spirit, and in the spirit of Nishkam, that we, as a small group of people from different faiths and of none, want to show our support for our brothers and sisters.  (Nishkam means serving others without any want, or expectation of anything in return - i.e. serving for the sake of serving.)

 

Our team to date includes:

 

Fauja Singh (marathon world record holder - over 90's)

 

Papa Minhas

Momma Minhas

Delvinder Parmar

Magnus Philipson

Julia Philipson

Anna-Heléna Philipson

Oskar Philipson

Polly Minhas

Herinder Minhas

Sukhraj Parmar

Karmi Parmar

Lakhraj Minhas

Jairam Parmar

Satnam Parmar

Amol Minhas

Sarabjoyt Minhas

Parmjoyt Parmar

Bhupinder (Boppa) Minhas.

 

and you!!! we are looking for more team members - whether you would like to just come and show your support by joining us on the day (and getting yourself a snazzy Nishkam singlet!), or whether you can raise some sponsorship money too, please get in touch - nishkam@appob.com...

 

Funds raised, from this year’s event, will directly support the following three projects of the Aga Khan Foundation:

 



Environmental Health Improvement Programme in Gujarat, India

From supporting water and sanitation infrastructure to training villagers on good hygiene behaviour, AKF's health improvement programme help to save thousands of lives every year. Read more »




Early Childhood Development Programme - “Jailoo” Kindergartens in the Kyrgyz Republic

AKF helps many rural Kyrgyz children, get the knowledge and life skills they need to realise their full potential. Read more »




Rice Farming Yield Improvement Programme in Madagascar

Farmers in the Sofia region have benefitted from alternative farming methods proposed by AKF, leading to a doubling of their average rice yield. Read more »

 

The overheads of AKF are funded by His Highness the Aga Khan and from endowment income. All monies raised therefore go directly to these projects.

Everyone is invited to join the Walk & Run, and there is no entry fee. If you wish to participate in this year's event, please register online as soon as possible.Any donation, however large or small, will be greatly appreciated, and if you are a UK taxpayer, don't forget to tick the box, and we will get an extra 28% courtesy of the UK government.

 

Thank you!
