This trip - my journey around India - isn't done to just selfishly satisfy my wanderlust ways. I am funding 100% of this trip myself, and I'm just hopeful that those that read (and hopefully enjoy) my first ever blog (http://blog.travelpod.com/travel-blog/simonchegwyn/1/tpod.html) will be happy to make a donation to Asha.

During this trip, I want to publicise Asha's excellent work and in particular the educational projects and students they support. In an early blog entry I wrote about Usha - she has done so incredibly well but there are many more like her. Any donation, no matter how small, will make a huge difference.

Thanks, Simon
