Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
Come July 2013 our four-man (and woman!) team are going to be driving a car over 3000 miles all the way to Dushanbe, capital of Tajikistan! Now you might think why...and while we want the adventure, new cultures, new experiences and all the new friends we'll meet on the way we're choosing to do it as part of an organised rally so that our efforts are not entirely selfish.
By taking such a trip in aid of Go Help we hope to bring not only monetary support for locally run health and education projects through out Tajikistan but also to donate the car to a Hospital or Charity in need of a vehicle to support their work or help people get to the healthcare they need.
Tajikistan is the poorest country in central Asia, and isn't very widely known througout western Europe. Its has a GDP ranking below both Haiti and the West Bank/Gaza. It is a country largely forgotten in the popular charity collections we see in the UK and while we would like to raise as much as possible we're also passionate about just highlighting this corner of the world and helping to grow interest in this area amongst the people we talk to.
Now obviously we can't expect people to just donate without proving our dedication! So our team members are spending the next few months raffling, baking and running Marathons to prove our commitment to this cause.
Any donations will be donated 100% to the charity Go Help and will be used on the ground in Tajikistan.
Thank you reading this and thank you for your support!
