Request for Fund

Dear Madam /Dear Sir’s Just two decades ago development was seen to be the responsibility and prerogative of the government and institutions of the state. The last decade of the twentieth century has redefined the context, nature and meaning of the term ‘Development’. Where not long ago, development was seen primarily to be just industrialization (without any qualification), it now needs to be sustainable, participatory, just, environmentally friendly, equitable, democratic and gender sensitive. Moreover, the state is now seen as only one of the partners in development, with its role greatly reduced to providing an ‘enabling environment’ or level playing field, with the private sector and non-governmental organizations taking over an increasingly prominent role in doing development. In the wake of the realization of good corporate citizenship we would like to provide you an opportunity to display your corporate social responsibility in the best interest of the community, which is in fact one of the major stakeholders in your concerns as consumers. Taking liberty of the ongoing debate, we would formally introduce our organization , it’s aims, objectives and programs that would serve to fulfill your aspirations in truly realizing your obligations towards society at large. it is fact that “In which area we are living there is a big problem of drinking water, and this is amazing that during the 24 Hours, we received water only for 30 Minutes ,you can just imagine and think about it that in this short time period how much quantity of water we will save and store for coming 24 Hours, and mostly the Tube well operator absent minded and forgot to open for us water connection then we put some pot and other Grocery item to fill from outside side or from mosque for drinking and for other necessaries” this situation is faced myself ,

There are so many people in our community who have no drinking water facility we are arranging a scheme to solve such problem and it will done with our donor help and cooperation. It has evolved a unique approach where by it has combined advocacy work with grass root development to bring about an environmentally sustainable socio- economic development order. It works on a multi- sectoral approach with a number of operational programs to achieve its goals and objectives including Sustainable Livelihood, Social Mobilization & Development and Advocacy as core programs with further sub- categories and support programs. Some institutional donors in (Individual & Organizational level) are presently funding to this Foundation and these donors have assisted ours Foundation in implementing its programs during the past and have pledged to help in future also. The current economic situation and the politically instability in Pakistan has made NGOs like ours vulnerable to a lot of external factors including funding by the overseas donors. In the light of weak policies, inadequate institutions, non-availability of state development funds, this is an institution and a part of non profit sector in Pakistan seek the assistance of a number of civil society members including professionals, the business community, philanthropists and the industrial sector (including corporate and the multinationals) to join hands with us and strengthen the process of socio - economic development within the country, which would ultimately in the long run contribute for attaining sustainable democracy, for which we all strive for. its provides you with a unique opportunity to pursue your social obligations by entrusting your confidence & supporting to our institutional cause to eradicate poverty & social injustice that prevails in our communities at large.

Daddys Hands

Daddy's Hands is the epic saga of one warriors struggle, of a man whose love for a woman would defy a nation, define a generation and become... a legend. Daddy's Hands is a taut, psychological, mind bending, spellbinding, edge of your seat, hold on to your hat, barf in a bucket thrill ride that will blow your head clear off and inflame your screaming skull. Daddy's Hands is, all at once, the parade drum of the damned, the horn of the dead, the pipes of pan, the strings of Monteuerdi and the taste of three hundred and fifty five CC's of rock n' roll shot straight into your soul by the most awesome and terrifying nurses in the universe. Perhaps some radiant animals crouched in the forest know of Daddy's Hands, but who will catch them? Who posses the golden candy and knows the way? Daddy's Hands flies the friendly skies and sweetens the pie. Daddy's Hands does more by six am then most people do in a lifetime. Invest in Daddy's Hands and sit upon their nest egg. -fern

John Russell

                          JOHN RUSSELL              

                                     1796 - 1873                                                                             

                        Iron and Coal Master 

Worcestershire, Monmouthshire, Gloucestershire

John Russell was a self made man born in Bromley Shropshire in 1788. He married at St John the Baptist, Claines, Worcestershire 1st May 1817, Mary daughter of Benjamin and Mary Downs of Alton Court, Herefordshire, (she baptised Orleton, 18th Sept 1796). He was reputedly looked down on by the family of Mary Downs to whom he is said to have vowed ‘that his wife would always have a carriage and pair’.

John Russell developed considerable industrial interests especially in South Wales, it was said that ’all he touched turned to gold’. He was owner of The Worcester Pipe Works and The Risca Coal and Iron Joint Co and Russell’s Brickworks. In 1836 John Russell and Co bought Waunfawr Colliery with a site covering 1000 acres and in 1841 John Russell had a new shaft of 559 ft sunk at Coed Waunfawr (Blackvein). In 1842 John Russell and Co were awarded the contracts to provide the steam coal to the East India Company, Peninsular and Orient Company as well as The Royal West Indian Steam Packet Company.

Russell was a partner with Thomas Brown in the Blaina Iron Works which they took over in 1839 and the Cwmtillery Colliery which he took over in 1852. In 1853 he sank a new shaft of 785ft and was shipping 350 tons of coal a week from Cwmtillery, this is in contrast to the very evocative description he wrote of the way of life on the farm of Tir Nicholas which had existed in 1850 prior to his development of the colliery. In 1858 he sank a further shaft and 1864 he incorporated Cwmtillery into his South Wales Colliery Company.

Other interests of John Russell included iron workings in the Forest of Dean, The Monmouthshire Railway and Canal Company and he was active with Charles Morgan (Lord Tredegar) in the development of the port at Newport. He is also associated with the development of Coalbrookdale at Madely in Shropshire.

During the development of his South Wales interests John Russell it would seem that he moved between Terhill House at Cheltenham, Risca House (previously Ty Mawr), and The Wyelands at Chepstow, until 1856 when he acquired neighbouring estate of Piercefield (The record indicates that he retained 27 servants to run Piercefield). During this period, much to the annoyance of the townspeople of Chepstow, he restricted access to the park.

John Russell was made a Justice of the Peace in 1842, High Sheriff of Monmouthshire in 1855 and at the time of his death was one of the oldest magistrates in Monmouthshire. His London house, at 28 Westbourne Park, was burgled by the infamous murder Chas Peace who was disturbed in his work and left behind a silver tea pot which he had flattened for ease of removal. (Russell’s great grandson Noel Kynaston (Hookey) Gaskell wrote ‘The Romantic Career of a Great Criminal’, A Life of Charles Pearce, 1906)

In the development of his South Wales industrial interests Russell was in partnership with, George Randle Hookey of Ludlow and Risca House, (who on 30 June 1840, in the presence of Mary Anne and Jane Russell, was married at Risca Parish Church to Russell’s daughter Susanna) and in 1842 he gave evidence to the Enquiry on the Employment of Children in Mines.

Russell’s colliery interests seem to have been plagued by a series of disasters and loss of life (it was said that his collieries were so prone to accidents that he had to bring men from Somerset, Dorset, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire to work for him). In 1846 a gas explosion at the Risca Blackvein Colliery killed thirty five men, in 1849 two men where killed and in 1853 ten men lost there lives in a gas explosion. The worst of the disasters occurred on the 1st December 1860 when there was a major explosion in which one hundred and forty six men died. Though working with naked lights had been banned, only a week before the explosion a collier had been convicted and fined by the local magistrates for the use of a naked light underground in breach of the regulations.

The Risca Blackvein disaster was a great human and a severe financial loss. The Risca Colliery Company was bankrupted by the explosion and by the cost of a legal battle over encroachment on other rights, George Randle Hookey lost everything. In 1861, to establish a trust for the miner’s families, Russell sold Piercefield and returned to Terhill House in Gloucestershire. By 1866 the Blackvein Colliery had been sold to Thomas Rhodes.

In 1867 John Russell acquired the estates of Badgeworth Court at Churchdown, Glocestershire from J Viner Ellis; he died in 1873 and is commemorated by the great east window at Badgeworth parish church, though he was buried at St Clement’s at the heart of his Worcester estate. Mary Downs died at Terhill in 1878 and was buried with her husband at St Clements Worcester.
