A young woman from Aldona, Natasha Lisa DeSouza, has agreed to shave her head bald on Easter Sunday if she can raise Rs. 50,000/- for charity. The two Goan charities she has in mind are Sethu and Bookworm.
Sethu is doing fantastic work for children with mental disabilities. Check it out at: http://www.sethu.in Bookworm is encouraging the reading habit among kids through libraries, workshops and outreach programs - including one in Aldona. Check it out at: http://www.bookwormgoa.in/ This is how it works. You pledge an amount by contacting Cecil Pinto < cecilpi...@gmail.com>. Cecil will guide you on how to get the money across to the charity of your choice. Please specify if it is Sethu or Bookworm that you prefer. Official receipts will issued by the respective organisations you donate to. Your name and the amount pledged will be displayed on an accumulative list on Facebook. If the targeted amount of Rs. 50,000/- can be reached by or before 19th April then Natasha will have her head shaved clean on Easter Sunday. Photographic evidence of this will be posted publicly. Natasha has been game enough to suffer the ignominy of being bald so that kids in Goa can benefit. Please assist her by pledging and donating some money ASAP. We have only a few days left for Easter Sunday, 20th April. Even if you cannot spare the cash at least spread the message by sharing this post. And lets all have fun in the process. ==========
