While the UK is being compassionate towards India as it reels under the yoke of the second and tragic wave of Covid-19, Rohit and Neeta Kotecha are raising funds for ‘Oxygen for India’ in association with the British Asian Trust.
Speaking to Asian Voice, Rohit said, “So like many Indians we would like to do something to aid Indian citizens in these very difficult times and initially, I started a petition to ask the UK government to send Oxygen to India and it gained a few thousand signatures very quickly, soon afterwards aid was sent the by the UK and also the international community which is great to see.
“However, the situation in India is on a massive scale and I believe they can do with all the help possible therefore we started the just-giving fundraiser on behalf of The British Asia Trust which is an international development agency that delivers quality programmes in South Asia founded by HRH Prince Charles 12 years ago.”
So far, Kotechas have collected £785.00 with the help of friends and family. However, Rohit said, “We would like to raise more and with that in mind, I and my wife Neeta have decided to climb Mount Snowdon in Wales, we do not have a fixed date yet as it will depend on the weather and hotel availability in the area, but we will definitely be doing the climb in the next 4 weeks.
“We would appreciate some sponsorship towards the climb either by pledges or direct donations to the just-giving fundraising where the money goes directly to The British Asia Trust who then use their partners in India and distribute the aid.”
