Not only does it give them dignity and hope, but also the self-confidence to believe they can make it, which is the real long-lasting change. This is why Ivor is a member of the FINCA Advisory Board in the UK. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">FINCA was founded more than 25 years ago on the principle that <em>credit</em>, not<em> charity</em>, offers the surest way out of poverty. By putting small loans in the hands of the working poor, FINCA helps people help themselves. With FINCA loans, destitute mothers can start or expand tiny businesses and create a source of income for themselves and their families. FINCA is now helping more than 880,000 clients in 21 developing countries, with an average loan of &pound;200 per client.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">If you'd like to donate to FINCA you can do so on this page.&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-bidi-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">If&nbsp;you would like to donate to <strong>Lynne&rsquo;s </strong>chosen charity</span><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-bidi-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">,&nbsp;</span><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Parkinson&rsquo;s UK</span></strong><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> please follow this link:</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="color: #538bc8;"><a href="http://www.justgiving.com/ivorandlynnegolegitparkinsons">http://www.justgiving.com/ivorandlynnegolegitparkinsons</a>&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-bidi-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">You can learn more about Parkinson&rsquo;s UK from the weblink:</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-bidi-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><a href="http://www.parkinsons.org.uk/"><span style="color: #800080;">http://www.parkinsons.org.uk</span></a></span></span><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-bidi-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">&nbsp;</span></p>
