Please Support My Campaign - Fundraiser for Cleft Lip & Palate Charity

Thank you all, sincerely, for following my blog posts and joining in on the campaign for truth and justice for human rights. Human Rights extends to all people belonging to the human family, including children. In supporting children in Africa who suffer from cleft lip and palate, I have arranged to take part in a sky dive in order to raise funds for these children to have restorative surgery.

The jump will take place from an airplane at apprx. two miles high; the bad news for you is that I will have a fully functional parachute attached, and so expect to survive - sorry, lol! I am doing this in order to raise funds for a worthy cause - children with cleft lip and palate.

Cleft lip and palate affects so many young children world-wide, and the charity I am jumping for is a small charity that funds the expenses of medics to fly out to these children to perform the crucial restorative surgery on them. These medics use their holiday time to do this and are not paid either. In addition, the charity money funds vital medicine for the children, and medical equipment for resident medics. This take place annually.

The charity is Nyarko Cleft Care, registered number 1121946. This charity does not benefit from regular income, nor does it have any employed fund-raisers. Any donation is spent directly on the costs of getting the voluntary medics to Africa to perform life-changing surgery on these innocent and voiceless children. Your donations, therefore, will not pay someone's salary or tax credits; instead, you will be putting a beautiful smile on the faces of the children in need.

Given that this is an honourable cause, and the charity is so small, their funds are limited. By sky-diving (and I am somewhat terrified of taking the plunge) I hope to raise a lot of donations so that more children will benefit from the healing hands of the compassionate Medics who will visit them, without profit.

I am funding the sky-dive entirely from my own purse so that all the donations kindly sent in by you will go directly to the charity; no expense shall be claimed from your loving donation.

I want to make your donating an easy as possible process. There is no 'just-giving' or paypal account due to the fact that the charity aims to use ALL monies donated for its cause, rather than waste it on typical admin fees. You would have to register with them anyway, taking up more of your time. Instead, a quick and money saving process is to transfer the funds from your account into the charity's registered bank account. This can be done via online banking, telephone banking or popping in to the Bank. Transparency is assured - feel free to check the details with the Charity Commission.

The charity's account details are as follows:

Barclays Bank
Sort code 20-66-55
Account 90073660

International donations are most welcome, and the necessary bank codes are as follows:

IBAN GB65 BARC 2066 5590 0736 60

SWIFTBIC BARCGB22

Please quote 'Jump' as your reference when kindly donating.

Consider how much you spend on a night out, and then consider how much of a difference you can help make for these children.

Thank you for your compassion and generosity; every time you smile, remember that thanks to your giving, a child can smile more beautifully than before.

The jump has been booked for Wednesday 2nd December, 2009.
