Pounds for pounds...

To help raise money for our Company charity, Doornkop Needy Children's Centre, Elizabeth Gooch, eg's CEO is aiming to turn unwanted pounds into cash by participating in a sponsored slim. Elizabeth's target is to raise £1000 and lose 14lb in 9 weeks, starting today (Thursday 10 February) and finishing on 14 April.

In the event that Elizabeth loses more than this, you would not be liable to pay for the extra pounds! She will be going for weekly weigh-ins at Weight Watchers and this record card will be used to verify the weight loss. You can either sponsor Elizabeth an amount for the total weight loss or £'s for lb's.

Thanks in advance for your support to help the Doornkop Needy Children Centre in providing shelter, clothing, education and love to those orphans and destitute children from the age of 0 – 5 years. The money raised is vital for the future of the children and their survival.

Just think what £1000 could do...

Doornkop Needy Children's Centre...

All the money raised goes directly to the Doornkop Needy Childrens Centre (DNCC). The Centre, situated in Snakepark, a poverty-stricken area of Soweto, was started in August 2002 by two concerned mothers who were aware of the fact that many children – some abused, some abandoned, but most just plain poor – desperately needed some sort of crèche facility and care. They approached the community, secured permission to use a church gathering point and now look after 160 children.

The aim of the DNCC is to provide shelter, clothing, education and love to those orphans and destitute children from the age of 0 – 5 years.

The money raised is vital for the future of the children and their survival and eg are proud to be sponsoring the team.

It costs less than £5 per month to feed a child at Doornkop.

£40 will feed a child for a year with a nutrional supply of e-pap.

Around £125 can provide one child’s food, clothing and school fees for a year.
