Charity

BKIT - In December 2005, friends and relatives of Gilly Mundy and Debbie Quargnolo travelled to Buwan Kothi in Haryana from the UK in order to celebrate their wedding. They were overwhelmed by the warmth and generosity of the welcome they received from the village and resolved to put to good use the wealth of skills and experience they could draw upon, to develop and strengthen friendly links between people in the UK and Haryana. In March 2006, the Buwan Kothi International Trust was formed to raise funds for projects in Haryana aimed at rural regeneration and building closer ties with rural communities in the state, directed at all times by the priorities of the people living in these communities. Its Trustees are based in London and Leamington Spa. The major objective of the charity was always to raise funds to build a primary school in Buwan Kothi, but this has been given an even greater impetus by Gilly's sudden death in March 2007, aged only 36. Since then, we have raised over £130,000 (August 2009) and built the Gilly Mundy Memorial Community School, the first non-profit educational institution in the district. It current provides a quality education to almost 250 primary age children. We are now focusing on developing links with schools in the UK, strengthening the quality of the teaching at the Community School and raising funds for a Community Resource Centre.

Pippa's Mont Ventoux Challenge

Fundraiser: 
Pippa Ungar

My page: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/pippa_ventoux

I am planning to cycle up Mont Ventoux as, once again, I won't be in the UK for the Buwan Kothi Cycle Challenge this year.

This mythical climb of the Tour de France is 21km long and 1912m high.
I'm hoping to raise £100 for Buwan Kothi for every kilometer I climb - it'll give me more incentive to get to the top! Please sponsor me on this page.
For information on Buwan Kothi (and to sign up for the Cycle Challenge in Warwickshire this July yourself) click on the link.

Je vais tenter l'ascension du Mont Ventoux en vélo cet été pour lever des fonds pour l'association caritative Buwan Kothi - fondée par un ami tragiquement décédé à 36 ans - organisme qui a construit et gère une école dans le village natal de son père au Penjab, et qui a changé déjà la vie des enfants d'une région très pauvre.
J'espère gagner £100 par km (il y en a 21 en total), pour me donner plus de motivation pour arriver jusqu'au sommet! Sponsorisez-moi ici svp.
