Story

As you will all remember Jan was a charitable and giving person, (the full extent has only just been noticed reviewing her direct debits!)

Recalling one story from her teaching time in the prison; one of her students said "you know, you're a real 'umanarian'".  She assumed he meant 'humanitarian'? Regardless, of giving, working or living she would always want, and often make, the world a little bit less bad.

Jan reflected that it seemed so sad that flowers seemed picked and simply left, particularly at occasions like funerals so instead felt another cause would gain more!

The cause, in this case, is FGM and Fistula.  Knowing Jan as a 'mum' first it feels fitting and warming this was chosen.  The lack of necessity to cause such pain and humiliation and in the case of fistula simple and reasonably inexpensive procedures can fix.
