Lizzi has sent the following message of thanks for the support she has received so far and for the support of everyone still thinking, praying and fundraising for her efforts in the near future. She is now in Haiti, and may be able to send news and photos home shortly.

From Lizzi - "I just wanted to say a huge thanks to all of those who have made a donation or have helped in anyway! You can't know how grateful I am for your support!

Thank you for taking part of this challenge with me and know that even though you're not here, your donations made it possible and that makes you part of this as much as me!

Thanks again I'll write again as soon as possible with updates and once back in Argentina will try and send some photos of the trip, if we are able to take some! =)

God bless you all a ton!! xxx

LIZZI ON A MISSION

Former student of St John’s in Marlborough, Lizzi Ludlow, who is working in a leper colony in India, is trying to raise £1,000 to travel to Haiti to help with the relief operation following the devastating earthquake four weeks ago.

Lizzi, 20, (pictured left with brother Pete) whose parents Phil and Thea live at The Green in Aldbourne, has been working with the Christian missionary organisation Youth With a Mission in Argentina with her brother Peter but is now in India. Lizzi wants to go to Haiti to help with the relief work but will have to fund this herself and the flight alone will cost about £1,000.

Writing from Argentina she said: “The relief team is being sent (to Haiti) by the Christian missionary organisation I have been working with for just under four years called Youth with a Mission. It is an organisation focused on training youth to do missions in any place and it is located in nearly every country in the world. The work we do ranges from working in churches, children’s homes to hospitals.”

Lizzi is the youngest of four and as well as her brother working with YWAM their older sister Josephine works with a charity called NCAP helping with the problem of prostitution in Southampton.

Her mother said: “If anyone should feel motivated to help this local girl who is putting aside her plans to give aid and relief to those suffering in Haiti it would be much appreciated.”
