02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
As a professional storyteller with international connections in writing and storytelling, I set up a number of projects and competitions* to help teach English to students living and working abroad. Through fundraising we gather prize money to allow students in Uzbekistan to win cash, books and certificates. We also provide goodwill gifts and birthday cards for vulnerable children in various countries. On Line meetings with students of interpreting and real time live storytelling sessions. Some of these links go back to 2001 and the origin of the work there. Post covid we have established links with Universities in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Turkey with Morocco on the horizon for next year. * KNITC currently running in Perm Russia and Ko’Kand Uzbekistan and is open to students in Kazakhstan and Turkey. Birthday Cards for All regular made by Scottish schoolchildren and are collected for personal distribution by volunteers.
