On the 19th November 2009 the Mashi Foundation received registered charity status.  It has been two long years of fundraising to achieve the amount of money needed to register.  The money has been raised through a variety of events from a sponsored cycle  ride through Devon to charity gigs in Cambridge.  I would like to say a massive thank you to all those who have supported me through this and very kindly made donations.  We are now in a position  to move the charity forward and start projects in Quito that will benefit the many children who are living and working on the streets.
