I'm raising money for The Friends of Foundation
“Sean Callaghan's fundraising”

on 12 February 2010

Donations cannot currently be made to this page
We are a group of friends who are raising money to help our friends who work with impoverished communities around the world. We have a number of projects that you could invest in. Each has been selected because we know the people involved (and trust them).

As the new year approaches the biggest challenge for Patricia is finding the funding to send all the children to school. That&rsquo;s where you come in! We want to raise funding over this Xmas period to send everyone of the 50 orphans at Discover to Recover Centre to school in 2011.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->&nbsp;<!--[endif]-->We are asking you at this time to support one orphan for a full year in any one of the following ways:</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->&nbsp;<!--[endif]-->Primary Schooling (<strong>45 orphans</strong></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">):</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Symbol;">&middot;<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp; </span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">School fees per year per child<span> </span>= 7,500 Kenyan shillings<span> </span>= &pound;60.00/$95.00</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Symbol;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Symbol;">&middot;<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp; </span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">School books, uniforms, stationery and exam fees = 4,900 Ksh<span> </span>= <span style="text-decoration: underline;">&pound;40.00/ $60.00</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36pt;">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">FUNDRAISING TARGET<span>&nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>= &pound;4,500/ $6,975</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->&nbsp;<!--[endif]-->Secondary Schooling (<strong>5 orphans</strong></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">):</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -27pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Symbol;">&middot;<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">School fees (boarding)/ year/ child = 37,800 Ksh<span>&nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp; </span>= &pound;300/ $470</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -27pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Symbol;">&middot;<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">School books, uniforms, stationery and exam fees = 12,600 KsH<span> </span>= <span style="text-decoration: underline;">&pound;100/ $155</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; FUNDRAISING TARGET<span>&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>= &pound;2,000/ $3,125</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">Living expenses (<strong>50 orphans</strong></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">):</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -27pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Symbol;">&middot;<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">Food, medical, clothing, toiletries = &pound;16.50 ($26) per child/month (&pound;200 / $315 per child each year)</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">FUNDRAISING TARGET<span>&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>= &pound;10,000/ $15,600</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->&nbsp;<!--[endif]--></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;"><strong>TOTAL TARGET = &pound;16,500 / $25,600</strong></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;"><strong><br /></strong></span></p> <!--EndFragment--> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Our friend Patricia is the leader of a church in Kitale, Kenya, and is herself living with HIV.
