HELLO!

Thank you for visiting Simon and Maro's fundraising page where YOU can make all the difference to US making a difference.


WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?

This summer (as part of bigger plans) we're heading South for 12 months to work with VSO's partners in the developing world.

Maro: building on her experience with people with special needs.

Simon: using communications to build institutional capacity for change.


HOW CAN YOU HELP?

We are committed to raising £3000 to add to the money that the Department for International Development puts towards our salaries, bread and board.

By making a donation here, no matter how small, you're contributing

- to learning: we believe the inequalities which exist in our world must be challenged and can be changed. We are on a journey to help people in the UK discover this. We want you to be involved.

- to building bridges: we want to raise awareness of the connections which bind us all into exciting relationships with people in developing countries. Help make it happen.

- to a safer world. Ok, it's a long-term goal - but we truly believe that war, poverty and a life dictated by inhumane market forces can be tackled if people communicate across borders and defences.


ACT NOW!

We have to meet our target of £3000 by July and we're asking you to dig deep. It all adds up!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: VSO will receive your money directly on our behalf.

And if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax can also be added to your gift at no cost to you!

WHAT NEXT...

We hope you'll stay involved with what we're doing. Keep in touch via the website (www.generocity.blogspot.com), view photos and find out how you can campaign for change.

If you're really keen, and would like us to give a talk in your school, workplace or church about VSO and our own experiences, we'll be happy to.

And if you want to know about events we're planning before we go, drop us an email - maromcnab or simonbateson @hotmail.com.

Thanks for reading. And thanks for your donation.

Maro and Simon xx
