As someone proud of his political beliefs, always willing to learn more and give something back, I am looking to go a fantastic trip run by the Aegis Trust, which is an organisation dedicated to standing up to prejudice and discrimination,doing this fighting genocide. This is not a normal holiday: I will be in Bosnia actively helping people on the ground that have had their lives torn apart by war. This trip does not come cheap and I am looking to raise funds for it.
As someone who is proudly Jewish, Bosnia holds a lot of importance to me for both good and ill. The Bosnian Sephardi Jewish community is over 600 years old and has a rich history that I would like to explore and also help enrich after suffering from persecution. The community bought from Spain the Famous Passover Haggadah with them. I will also visit the largest World War 2 concentration camp in the Balkans called Jasenovac
Some of you will be glad to know that one of the fundraising projects I will be involved in is a sponsored silence. As many of you who know me well I can definitely talk for England if not the world! I will be doing a weekly sponsored silence. This includes at the University and at home. I will not write any messages on my laptop, make any sort of noises or write anything in. Anything, even a small amount is greatly appreciated.
I will also be growing a Beard for Movember and finally, I will be doing is a sponsored run. I will attempt to run for five weekends every Saturday for the 5km run held on Saturday or Sunday morning at Hyde Park.
Please contribute to helping the Bosnian people get back on its feet again, I promise it will be money well spent.
