My story

 

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor us online!

We are spending our honeymoon on the road. We have recently reached India after travelling overland from Wivenhoe on a variety of trains, buses, jeeps and rickshaws via Poland, Russia, Siberia, Mongolia, China, Tibet and Nepal! It has been a fantastic adventure see http://www.travelblog.org/Bloggers/Bob-and-Sarah/ for stories and pictures!

In February we are heading for the Russ Foundation project near Madurai in Tamil Nadu where we will work for around a month. This is where the money you donate via Good Foundation will be used to benefit those in need.

The Russ Foundation project initially formed to provide a home for children who were parentless or disadvantaged. It has grown immensely since 1993 and has become a focus for the community it serves; through training workshops it aims to revive the skills of the area and provide some craft employment for local women; through its Community Action Programme, the foundation helps to alleviate some of the problems which result from isolation and community neglect, bringing alternative livelihoods, health care and education to an otherwise poorly developed area.

The ongoing development and success of this grassroots organisation is always dependent upon available funds and volunteers for more information visit
http://www.russfoundation.org/

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

So please sponsor us now! Many thanks for your support.
