In honour of what would have been my late best friend, Laila Salehzehi's 31st birthday, I have set out to raise money for her charity. Over the past few years, donations to the Laila Salehzehi Charitable Foundation have helped so many disadvantaged people, from school children in rural Iran, to acid attack survivors in Pakistan, and special needs children in the UK.

This time, we're hoping to raise enough money to buy a braille printer to help educate blind children in a special needs school. The school is in a rural and deprived village in Iran, and we hope to give the children there a chance to take part in reading and learning, just like other children all over the world! 

You can have a look at the printer here:

Please help by giving whatever you can. No amount is too little, and remember that you can donate anonymously if you prefer. On an otherwise very difficult day for her friends and family, lets try and do something positive in Laila's memory!
