Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Every year I try and raise funds for something I really believe in. In the last 8 years I have raised approximately £5000 for various causes ranging from medical research, disaster relief to promotion of arts both here in the UK and in India. This year I have decided to support 2 charities (Fair Trade and CPRE) as I am teaming up with my sister Chamu.

Fair Trade is my chosen charity this year. I am a chocoholic and increasingly I am only buying single origin cocoa mainly from African countries. So, thought it apt for me to support Fair Trade who are doing excellent work in making sure the cocoa farmers get a fair deal!

So please dig deep and donate now as much as you can. For some of the large doners as a token of my appreciation I am taking commissions for sketching a portrair of their choice!!!! check out samples of my work on this page. For a donation of £50 I will sketch you an A4 portrait (a novel gift for Christmas?!) and for £75 could do larger sizes!
