Raising money for

SOS Children's Villages UK

Charity Registration No. 1069204

For nearly 60 years, SOS Children has built communities around the world for children who have no one to turn to. By providing a home and a new mother in a purpose-built local Village, thousands of orphaned and abandoned children have been given a loving and secure family for life.

SOS Children also plays an important role in supporting the development of local communities by building and running nursery, primary and secondary schools; vocational training centres and medical centres, all of which are open to the children in our care and to those from the wider community. Where possible, we want to prevent child abandonment, so we offer skills, training, education, counselling and micro-loans to vulnerable families so can they can provide for their children in the long-term. SOS Children also provides emergency relief in situations of crisis and disaster.

Today, we care for more than 78,000 children in 490 unique SOS Children's Villages in 124 countries worldwide, and also support a further one million children and families in local communities.

My story

hello,

We (Nick Franklin and Paul Crowe - AKA 'Team Kipper') have decided that our annual BMX mission this year should be replaced with something more ridiculous.
It didn't take long for us to realise the only sensible thing to do, is to drive to Mongolia - 10,000 miles across some of the worlds most hostile terrain in a car thats teetering on the brink of a failed MOT.

Checkout: our website: www.teamkipper.mn for more details & to keep an eye on our progress.

We are leaving on the 5th July 2008 and hopefully returning sometime after (TBC).

If you are able to sponsor us - our chosen charity is SOS children's villages - we would be very grateful. SOS children's villages provides homes for orphaned and abandonned children, across the world. In Mongolia, they have set up a village in Ulaanbaatar, the capital city. However the village is overcrowded and in need of more services, and they are also trying to establish another children's village in northern Mongolia. Thank you for helping to support their valuable work - 100% of donations on this site go to the charity!!

We are purchasing our own vehicle, which (assuming we make it) will be donated to the CDPF (Children's Development Protection Fund), based in Mongolia, to sell at auction.

thanks for your support. - 'Team Kipper' (Paul & Nick)
