So... I am embarking into a brave new world of sponsorship but of course I need your help. I wil be jumping out of a plane so you can think of my sheer look of panic on the way down, the fact that I will be strappd to a random person or that I might leave my eyeballs or some equally necessary organ up there in the sky to help you give generously.

Alternatively you could think about what a great organisation Bottletop is.. using fashion, music and culture to spread vital messages about sexual and reproductive health. I love that they innovate both in terms of delivering messages and empowering young people, as well as in their methods of fundraising. They work in Rwanda, Malawi, Brazil and the UK with amazing partners. I also love the equality, too often development work is about people in the west imparting alleged expertise or knowledge, ths is about peer to peer work with the fundamental belief that all young people everywhere are equal and deserve a fair shot.

One of the exmaples I like the most is thei support for rYico in Rwanda. rYico provide education and accomodation for street children as well as a drop-in centre for vulnerable young people.

Anyway please give geerously, I am not a sponorship kind of person so you will be unlikely to get any more of these from me.

Thank you!
