Supporting Asha with a Walk





Do you wish you could do something more during the global pandemic to help Asha’s work among the urban poor in Delhi? 


Many of the poorest families in the slums are facing months of little or no income as a result of the pandemic. In addition to supporting education and health, Asha is also working to alleviate malnutrition in the slums where they are based. Many past and present Asha students have joined with other young people to act as Asha Warriors, taking food, advice and encouragement to the most hard hit. But there is a cost to this.

Here is a way in which you can help, in spite of Covid restrictions here in the UK.

Join our “Delhi Ramble”.

Our aim is to help raise funds to support Asha’s response to the pandemic in Asha Slums, by walking the approximate distance from London to Delhi, covering the distance of 4500 miles on foot by Easter between all of us. You can use your daily exercise to contribute to this. 

You can walk a short distance or several miles at a time. You can walk alone, with a friend or as a household. Just log how far you walk, and let us know how you get on. You can also encourage others to support you by walking or donating to Asha’s Covid Appeal through this “Ramble to Delhi”.

We would love you to stay in touch as you walk, and to see pictures of your walks.  We can encourage each other in this way and update progress.   To achieve this we have set up a WhatsApp Group to keep everyone in touch.  To join the conversation, click this link  Delhi Ramble WhatsApp Link  or scan this QR code with your smartphone camera.

To join the walk and share the distance you hope to walk, please email your name and target distance to delhiramble@nigelrees.co.uk .  We look forward to hearing from you.  

You can donate funds raised / gifts via the Friends of Asha GB Delhi Ramble Just Giving page.  

Or use the QR Code below to donate with your smartphone, just view the code through your camera to be taken to the Just Giving page.  

 

Be part of the Journey. Let’s share our progress.

Help make a difference One step at a time!

 Hi Everyone, lots of progress this week in the UK, mostly in the rain! with sunshine as well.   With rain forecast over this weekend it is certainly going to be interesting to see how many get out and about. With £1515 + giftAid raised so far, it's really exciting to see how the next few weeks roll out, 2700 miles pledged with many still to decide, and over 500 miles in 2 weeks, with many still to advise totals.   Cameras have been put to good use as well. Thank you Richard Thank you Linda Thanks you Malcolm

Out and about in Delhi

 Hi Everyone, Now over 1400 miles towards the target of 4500 Tushar, Mala, and Juhi have been out in Delhi again..... Hello Everyone! Hope you all are doing well. Here we are with our next ramble, which we did yesterday. This time we chose the Lutyens' Delhi (New Delhi) to ramble around. The total distance covered by us was around 9.5 KM, starting from the President's House to the National Museum and moved forward towards the India Gate and finishing the walk at Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, near Connaught Place.  While Shahjahanabad had been the capital during Mughal era, New Delhi was chosen as the seat of power by the British Govt. in 1911  (Officially in 1931) shifting the capital from Calcutta to Delhi. But why this decision was taken? First, the British govt. believed it was easier to rule from the centre location, like Delhi, rather than ruling from the far eastern city. Moreover, it was a great source of creating a lineage and gaining support of masses, as Delhi had previousl
