Singer to drive across India in a rickshaw
SINGER BELINDA Carlisle has announced her plans to drive a rickshaw across India to raise money for charity.
The Heaven Is a Place on Earth singer said in a video: “I’m doing a rickshaw ride in India in March from Kolkata to Udaipur.
“So why not make a donation in somebody’s name this holiday season – that person who is impossible to buy for.”
The charity strives to “train and employ vulnerable youth and women as veterinary technicians, dog handlers and animal caregivers” in India.
Carlisle has a fundraising goal of $25,000 to help the Animal People Alliance, which works to improve the lives of slavery survivors with economic empowerment and education strategies.
