Story

Hello,

Thank you for visiting my Just Giving page and donating to this worthwhile charity.

As a patron and volunteer, I have seen first hand the impact the charity makes to the lives of vulnerable families living in Sri Lanka and Nepal. RMF arms women with the skills to support their families, from driving the charity's Pink Tuk Tuks to arming them with other valuable skills.  However with Covid-19 affecting people worldwide, these families, who already live below the poverty line, are struggling to survive. 

The Rosie May Charity, which is based in Nottingham, has also been  delivering vital supplies for those who are vulnerable in the local community here in the U.K. 

On Sunday 24th, I'll be teaching a relaxing Hatha Yoga class, for all levels 4-5pm. I have a 200hr Yoga Alliance Teacher Training qualification and can't wait to use these skills, to move together and raise money for this global community of ours.

Please message me on instagram @geetapendse or e-mail me on gitanjaliyoga02@gmail.com and I'll send you the zoom link. 

Any injuries or ailments please let me know. Due to the nature of online classes, students are responsible for their health and safety.

Thank you again for donating and look forward to seeing you online!

Lots of love,

Geeta

Charity Info

In our local community we are utilising Rosie the Little Pink Tuk Tuk to help vulnerable families, who are self-isolating, by training volunteers to drive so we can deliver basic essential items and help keep them safe.In Sri Lanka and Nepal families are in exactly the same situation, schools are closed and our mums are struggling to work and provide for their families. We have given a dry rations pack to all our vulnerable families and our team on the ground continue to support them remotely.Our office is obviously closed and we are working from home to coordinate our efforts. All our fundraising events for March, April and May are being postponed and we will continue to assess, revaluate and to keep you all informed.
