Hello everyone!

I'm going to be abseiling down Gateway House at De Montfort University (DMU) on the 7th of February and will be raising money for DMU Square Mile India which supports the Gandhi Ashram hostel that houses 120 children in Gujarat, India. It costs just 38p to feed one child for a day, so any donation, no matter how small will be able to help! I visited Punjab, India with the British Council in July so I personally know how poor many parts of India are and even a £1 donation would help greatly and all donations go directly to help people.

Here's a bit more info about DMU Square Mile India and what the fund does:

-Connect remote rural villages to sustainable energy resources
Provide health outreach to hundreds with eyesight and hearing problems in Gujarat
-Create a new Square Mile in the slum of Ramapir No Tekro in Ahmedabad, Gujarat’s largest city
-Offer more than 200 DMU students the opportunity to put their degree skills into practice within Indian communities with #DMUglobal
-Develop new projects with partner universities, organisations and charities in India
-Create global internships for 80 Indian students at DMU
-Support a home for 120 vulnerable Dalit (or ‘untouchable’) children, from the lowest Hindu caste, in Ahmedabad, as well as wider health and education programmes for underprivileged groups
-Deliver the Gandhi Global Peace Conference 2016 in Leicester
