Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I've retuned from one of the most amazing and emotional weeks of my life. I knew it would be hard to see the poverty but didn't realise quite how bad it would be. Thousands of people living in shacks made from a bit of tin as they have no other option. Kids not being able to go to school because they have no uniform (allot don't even have shoes). So many children are orphaned, allot of them living with HIV and this is just touching on the problems they face every day. But yet through all of this, all the pain and suffering these people endure, I have never met such happy, positive, beautiful people. They have no choice but to get on with there lives, and that's what they do, but with such a positive outlook on life.

Without the volunteer work that takes place, these people would not get a hot meal every day, they would not get the support, guidance and care that we all take for granted. The orphanages would not have the support to grow and provide the much needed care to those children who have nothing, not even someone to love them.

And this is where Mark and I ask for the help and support from you guys to get us there and carry out the work that is so desperately needed. Every donation no matter how big or small really will make a difference.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails.
