Thank you to each and every one of you who made our Snowdon hike last year the most successful fundraiser to date. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend in person due to my health but I am looking forward to meeting you all this year. It's always a pleasure meeting our wonderful donors, fundraisers and hikers. As I always say, it is the Sangat that has helped Khalsa Aid become one of the leading faith-based cross-border humanitarian organisation. With all your continued efforts, we are now into our 24th year of delivering aid across the world. Let's make this year an even more successful event and help us to continue serving humanity.
