If you want to play your part in helping out Lesotho in its HIV/AIDS epidemic, there are a few things you can do: 1. Make a Donation! The easierst way to make a donation is through this website, with either paypal or credit card. If you do make a donation, there is an opption to leave us a note. Please do. Let us know who you are, and your thoughts on the cause. ALL funds raised and donated will go directly to the Tebellong hospital. If we are able to raise over $10,000, then our contribution will be used to buy a new generator, which will power the hospital when solar power is not available. If this target is not reached, the donation will be used to buy much needed medical equipment and supplies for their HIV/AIDS ward. Your contribution no matter how big or small will be greatly appreciated! If you are strapped for cash and would like to donate, then perhaps you could donate something that we can raffle or auction to raise money. For example, if you have a holiday house somewhere, perhpas you would like to donate a weekend holiday for two; or if you are a carpenter you could donate some of your work. These contributions are also valued greatly! Contact us with your ideas. 2. Fundraise! Raising money yourself for the 'Treading the Forgotten Sky' cause would be a wonderful way to contribute to the project further, rather than relying on your own finances. There are hundreds of different ways in which you can raise some money for an organisation or cause that you support. For example, you could selling things at a market stall, on e-bay or raffle tickets; or you could organise an event such as a trivia night, film night , sausage sizzle or music gig.

Creating awareness about the HIV/AIDS cause in both Lesotho and the rest of Africa may help initiate further donations to either 'Treading the Forgotten Sky' or to other HIV/AIDS relief projects. Promoting awareness may also stimulate further project development for HIV/AIDS relief in Lesotho. 4. Start your own cause! Is there something you feel passionately about or something/someone that needs your help? Set up your own cause and help out! By doing so you will not only gain immense satisfaction but you will motivate others to also take action! Waiting for other people to organise things for you and to initiate action is not nearly as effective as doing it yourself. Get out there and do what you love! If you are thinking about creating your own cause wether it be in your own community or internationally, and you need some advice, then we are willing to give you some advice. Good luck! 4. Sponsor the trek! If you or your company are interested in supporting Theresa's trek across Lesotho, to raise money for the 'Treading the Forgotten Sky' cause, then contact Theresa. Please see the sponsors page for more details. |
