Story

Hello and thank you so much for taking the time to share in this amazing story.

I have a goal to finish re-building homes in Thangpalkot1 Nepal - we've re-built 26 already but there are 55 still to go, just in this one village.

And in particular I want to help one family - Meena cooked me breakfast many times in previous visits to Thangpalkot1 and I promised her we would be back to help.

I've teamed up with my good friend Sean Newman from the Fine and Country Foundation who was the inspiration behind this next challenge - we need to make the world more aware of the poverty and homelessness in this particular village, let alone the rest of the remote villages in Nepal that have lost everything since the earthquakes in April 2015.

I have been to Thangpalkot1 3 times to stay and they have hardly received any help - you have to be there to fully understand it.
If you would like to come and visit then please just ask - we need volunteers.

To find out more and to meet the individuals who are going to help, please visit my Facebook page and you will see - it is a fascinating story!

Now if you would like to help me support these families it's pretty simple, fast, secure and straight forward - just click on the donate button and follow the 3 steps.

Can I just tell you that every penny we raise from this team event will go into Thangpalkot1 - I am personally responsible for how the money is spent and I promise you that every penny is well thought about.

To find out more look at the videos here: www.facebook.com/campbells.foundation/

Please like the page and you will soon see where your money has been spent.

I am part of a team of 7 and all of us are fortunate enough to be able to pay for our own flights, our guide, our accommodation, our equipment, our food, our personal trainers, our training trips and every cost involved in making this challenge and awareness successful.

However, myself and the rest of the team would very much like your support and your encouragement as this is no easy task I can tell you - we are on our way back now and it nearly broke me!

Click on the donate button and give what you can - please, please tell me who you are so I can at least say thank you and appreciate your effort. 

Can I just tell you how much more motivated we get when donations pop up – motivation to keep training and our challenge to finish Thangpalkot1 – every penny counts.

Although I have helped raise substantial funds for 26 homes with the help of many many other kind individuals who trust me, this particular challenge is personal - I can't expect everyone else to help with other crazy events if I'm not prepared to do it myself.

So, just one home is £1600, that's all. 

You can give as much as you think this is worth to not only encourage me but to help at least one family - and a family for generations.

Let me just explain, so I make it clear what this money is for. The Nepalese don't need the homes being re-built for them and they don't need changing either. They are very proud and lovely people and have the capabilities to re-build themselves - well with exception to the welding.

And they will bring their own sand up from the river to the village too.

What they haven't got though is the resources to buy the materials and transport it 6.5 hours up to their village - I arrange that all for them.

Now that's where your help comes in - with £1600 made up of individual donations we can re-build one home. 

One home at a time.

Some individuals, companies and other charitable organisations have sponsored whole families and one home entirely.

Some individuals have sponsored half a property.

Some work colleagues have teamed up and bought a home.

Some individuals and kids have saved up £1 coins in a jar or their coffee money and made a contribution.

I've heard so many great generous stories.

The generosity we have received so far has been phenomenal - it's just that we need some more to re-energise and continue the work.

Every penny counts so please donate whatever you can afford or feel appropriate.

Thank you for your interest, thank you for your donation and thank you for sharing our project. 

Most of all - please keep in touch.


And thank you from the families in Thangpalkot1 - you only have to watch their faces and body language in the videos to see how grateful they are.

About the charity

The Fine & Country Foundation has been created to help combat one of the largest social issues in the UK – homelessness. Last year, the Government estimated around 2,414 people sleep on the street on any one night across England, a rise of 36% over three years. Often the reasons for homelessness are misunderstood, with many blaming the individuals for poor life decisions and carelessness. The reality is: people become homeless for a whole range of complex and overlapping reasons that cannot be avoided, such as family breakdowns, mental or physical health problems or debts. Solving homelessness does not only involve putting a roof over people’s heads, it is also trying to tackle the root of the problem and asking the question: why did they became homeless in the first place? The Fine & Country Foundation is dedicated to bringing together all Fine & Country agents in over 300 locations worldwide to raise awareness of the causes of homelessness whilst supporting homeless charities.
