I'm going to be taking part in an abseil from the top of one of De Montfort Universities tallest buildings to help raise funds for the square mile project and have just 1 week to do so!
Any size donations are welcome and greatly appreciated!

The abseil is in aid of Square Mile India which is a series of projects sharing the skills of DMU students and staff to make a positive change for thousands of people, adding an overseas dimension to the university’s current Square Mile project.
It costs just 38p to feed one of the children for a day so every donation really does count.
Square Mile India projects will:
-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
