Thanks for visiting my page!

I am raising money for Jewish Child's Day as part of my Bar Mitzvah.

As part of Stanmore Synagogue's twinning programme I have been twinned with Orel who I have been messaging for the past few weeks. In September we plan to fly our ‘twins’ over to London for the trip of a lifetime! I can not wait to meet Orel in person, show him the sights and celebrate Shabbat with him.

Orel comes from Talpiot Village which supports 200 children and provides services to hundreds more, aged between 5-18. Most of the children at Talpiot have experienced neglect or abuse in their homes. Talpiot acts swiftly to restore calm and normalcy to their lives by establishing a stable, supportive and sensitive environment. The children are placed in one of ten residential care units run by care-giving foster families who provide the love, attention and support the children deserve but have often been denied.

How can you help?

In August I am taking on a London underground challenge where I am going to visit as many stations as possible in six hours! I will take a photo of the sign at every stop.

I would be so grateful if you could sponsor me EITHER by donating a single sum here OR (much more fun...!) letting me know (by WhatsApp) a pledge of how much you would like to sponsor PER STATION. To prepare your wallets, we think we might manage about 111 if we really stick to the plan and make all the changes efficiently without getting lost!

Thank you so much, I really appreciate any donation you can give.

Love

George
