We are very privileged to live in a society where our children are raised in a safe environment with clean water, plenty of food to eat and importanty an education, which in turn allows them to go on and make the most of life's opportunities. As we approach the festive season it is important to remember that not all children in the world are so fortunate and many are without the benefit of some of the most basic things that we take for granted.

Please join us together with the Asian Foundation for Help to raise funds to educate poor and needy children so that they too can  use their education to make the most of life's opportunities and alleviate themselves from a life of poverty.  

So what are we going to do.....

Let’s face it everyone loves a party and we thought what better way to kick start our fundraising for this fantastic cause than with our inaugural Diwali Masquerade Ball. The flyer for the ball is at the top of this page and we would be delighted if you could make it.

The Ball promises to be an incredible night of music, fun, frolics and laughter and if you need any more encouragement there is an OPEN BAR with top shelf drinks all night…!

However, on a more serious note, this is all for a very deserving cause and our hope to follow in our grandfather’s philanthropic footsteps for which he has been nominated for an OBE. The Asian Foundation for Help was formed in 1983 by our grandfather Mr Gopaldas Popat and others with the noble idea of helping the disadvantaged in mainly India but also in Bangladesh, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and the UK. For more information about the charity's work please visit www.asianfoundation.org.uk.

We really hope to see you all at the Ball but for those of you who are unable to attend, please please sponsor us so that we can help to make a difference to the lives of those less fortunate than us.

Many thanks in advance for your support.
