Raising Money for Charity [+23 Rep]

[AgnesIO]

apparently my e-mail is already registered when i haven't even been on this before?

This is definitely odd. I'm afraid there isn't really much I can say - have you tried a password reset to see what is says? Do you have an email address that someone could type randomly (eg. people type in [email protected] or something when signing up to things).

Sorry I cannot offer more help

The next time I go to purchase something, I will make sure to take part. The work of the Foundation sounds so benefitting to the orphans, and even a few pence must be worth something


I'm currently on my iPhone if you are seeing this message! I cannot participate in spam wars xx

Hello

Thanks very much! A few pence is definitely worth something. Below are a few prices in the local area, to give you an idea of what money can buy.

Bottle of Water (1.5l) - 25 rupees (or about 31 pence)
Meal (curry) - 75 rupees (unlimited refills on that) - 92p
Bottle of Coke (glass) - 30 rupees - 37p

Used examples of things that would be understandable to people in the UK haha

Thanks

----

A big thanks to Abbie for raising 70p for the cause, and an anonymous user on here for raising a further 7p. I honestly cannot express how much it means (please contact me guys!)

Hello Pazza,

Thank you for the response! No problem, may I ask what part of India you are going to, and what your project is? Obviously something we have a common interest it.

Thanks

Hey,

We're doing abit of touristy stuff, so we'll be going to New Delhi, Agra and Amritsa, and for a week we'll be in Dharamasala on project in a primary school; where we're pretty much only teaching, but may be helping renovate the school a little bit, and we're taking over loads of equipment with us to leave behind so hopefully they'll be set up for the next trip

Nice I will have the pleasure of seeing the rest of India next year (well 9 months 8 days!!) Let me know what your thoughts of your three destinations are on return, would love to hear about it. In regards to equipment, what sort of stuff are you bringing out? Don't bother with anything you think you can get in India, as it will be far cheaper haha (when I next go, I won't bother buying much at all in the UK).

Yeah i will do! N pencils, pens rulers etc. but we haven't bought any, we got around 3000 pencils donated to us from a factory in the lakes haha! got some chalk being sent to us for free and some recycled stationery, no idea what it is though!

Ah of course, didn't even think about donations haha Where I went, the younger children enjoyed torches just as much as anything else haha (in Tamil Nadu there are fairly widespread power cuts ). Fantastic donation though re. pencils. When you are there, ensure you try a lassi - Sweet is the best in my opinion!

Hmm, maybe that refers to you yourself? Just log in to your account, and go through the links provided - it should be fine if you used the link in the main post

I am pretty bad at remembering too.

http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/find-and-remind/ is quite a useful tool, which puts a yellow bar at the top of the shopping page reminding you about EasyFundraising - it used to give 50p to supporters of the cause on install, but that appears to have stopped now

Thank you for using the page

I am currently another Anonymous. They used to send the money by check (obviously wasn't payable to me). My fundraising total is negative - basically there was a check which I gave to my Sixth Form months ago, but they couldn't find it. The check was £27.99, so they then sent out another one - which I gave in. Annoyingly, my Sixth Form ended up paying in both checks - so EasyFundraising took £27.99 back off my fundraising total (meaning it was obviously positive beforehand) as I am the creator of the cause. And that is how it gets to £10 less. No money has actually been lost - as EasyFundraising gave £27.99 more than they should have in one month Therefore, on my total it is down as " Adjustment £-27.99". Hopefully that explains it!

EDIT: TO clear it up, they use BACS now, as opposed to Cheque meaning there are no more issues haha
