Chief Scout Bear Grylls has congratulated a Swindon Scout who has raised £4000 for an Indian orphanage in Delhi.
Ali, a 12-year-old Scout with the 18th Swindon Group, was left in a basket outside the Palna orphanage in Delhi when he was a baby. It was on a visit to the orphanage in 2006 with his adoptive parents Neil and Kauser that he was inspired to raise funds.
He began by giving speeches about the visit, selling plants, making and selling cakes and organising charity dinners.
