Vodafone World of Difference success for the Pakistani Police Torture Project

Afshaan and Owen felt like minor celebrities on Tuesday of last week – a member of the Vodafone Media Team came to our office in the Jewellery Quarter with a camera over his shoulder and notepad in hand to take our details for the local press.

Both ourselves and Nawaz recently learnt that our individual grant applications to Vodafone’s World of Difference programme were successful and we are all chuffed to bits that we are amongst the 500 lucky people - of 22,000 applicants - to receive grants to work for Reprieve full time during March and April. Not only will we be paid by Vodafone for this time and receive shiny new mobile phones (providing me with a much needed upgrade!), but the Pakistani Police Torture Project is also getting lots of press attention. We are not the only Reprieve Fellows to receive this funding but I will let those lucky winners announce their success themselves!
