First of all thank you for taking the time to click on my page to donate to GAAP Orphanage Foundation. Any funds raised will go directly to GAAP Orphanage Foundation since I have paid for my own race entrance for the Kamikaze Run.

I just signed up to 8 miles of extreme adventure cross country running at the Kamikaze Run in East Sussex on May 30th.

What’s more, I will be doing the race dressed as Spiderman if I reach half my target! Doing the Kamikaze Run on a Sunday morning is going to be a real challenge for me. Apparently, the organisers have gone radical and added many outrageous obstacles to the course which includes hardly any flat terrain!　Apparently the mud gets everywhere and it is quite normal to lose a shoe or two in the bogs, so it should be interesting.

 

GAAP Orphanage Foundation sent a team of 6 trustees and volunteers to 7 orphanages in Nigeria in April 2010 to see first hand what challenges they faced and how GAAP could help. The severe malnutrition and disturbing state of health of a 13 year old orphaned girl named Funmi touched our hearts; so much so that we are taking immediate fundraising action to Help Funmi as quickly as possible.

HELP FUNMI APPEAL: Target £5,000

As you can see from the photo that we took, Funmi is suffering from severe malnutrition and other health complications. Although we got her into hospital, she was back in the orphanage within a day and it has become clear that the only way we can improve Funmi’s health long term is for GAAP to pay for her medical bills in a private hospital. Sadly, Funmi is just one of the many very sick children we saw across the 7 orphanages we visited and GAAP is committed to helping as many other sick children as your funding permits.

WATER BORE HOLE APPEAL: Target £5,000

The orphanage caring for Funmi and around 35 other children including 17 with special needs, has no safe running water putting vulnerable babies and children at a greater risk to disease and other serious health problems. GAAP has agreed with the home to pay for and make all arrangements for a bore hole to be dug and a running water supply to be fitted. We need £5,000 to do this work which will cover the cost of the survey, bore hole, water tank and pump. GAAP will project manage the work to ensure your valuable funding is spent exactly as we promise to achieve this goal.

So whether you are donating because of Funmi’s situation or just to see Spiderman get humiliated….YOUR DONATIONS WILL HELP US DO SOMETHING AMAZING & MAKE CHILDREN SMILE SO…Thank you for visiting this page and for supporting GAAP Orphanage Foundation.
