My story

 

Operation EuroJandal

The Jandalpower march across Europe is currently on hold while I earn some money to fill the expedition coffers.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: SOS Children's Villages will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

February 4th 2008 (in conjunction with World Orphan Week - WOW) marks the start of a never before attempted expedition across Europe using jandal power (or flip-flops as they are known in some countries).

Unaided, I will utilise the jandals on my feet to take me from Tarifa, Spain to Istanbul, Turkey.

There will be no shoes or transport of a vehicular or animal based nature involved.

Operation Eurojandal is about simplicity.  Slip on your jandals and go.

The aim of SOS Children´s Villages is simple: 
Kids need a mother.
Kids need a home.
Simple.
SOS gives disadvantaged children just that.

As an added bonus for supporting SOS Children´s Villages and JandalPower I´m giving you the opportunity to:

Donate for Land

Donate through this page and while I´m crossing Spain, France, Italy, Slovenia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria,  I will purchase* (on your behalf) a little plot of land, with the use of a handcrafted, environmentally friendly flag with your name on it, to mark your territory and my appreciation.

You can purchase (by way of a donation) your very own piece of land, town, village or national park.

Here´s what a small donation will get you:

a village, a river, or a hamlet for £10
a township, a borough or a boondocks for £20
a castle, a metropolis, or a gorge for £50
a mountain, a principality, or a national park for £100
or your very own empire for  £500

or you can pick up multiple sections of land as I make my way towards Istanbul, Turkey.

It´s up to you. 
For more information on this fantastic European land grab offer go to:

www.jandalpower.com

Let me know in the comments section which particulary type of land you would prefer (ie a village, river etc) and I´ll do my best to secure it for you.

Remember, once you donate it will take me a few days to produce a photo of your flag/banner (it depends on availablity of internet cafes along the route - you can see my proposed route map at www.jandalpower.com/europeroute.html ).

If all this is a bit too much and you would just like to donate to support SOS and help power me along Europe on my Jandals/Flip-Flops then feel free to just donate.

*Disclamer: Please be aware that legally land is not being purchased under your name. Your purchase, however, is providing a future for a child, and should not stop you from visiting your piece of Europe and encouraging others to donate also.
