Story
Instead of asking for gifts for our wedding we would like to donate any money raised on here to the three charities we have listed below. Please do not feel you have to donate. We have everything we need and if we can make a small change to any of these amazing causes we are happy. As you know we have lived and worked in some amazing countries.
On our travels we have come across many who are not as fortunate as ourselves. Here are few charities that we would like to actively help.
UNHCR http://www.unhcr.org During our time in Asia we became very aware of the horrible situation in Myanmar. Learning about the events that have happened in Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam in the past, it's heart breaking to see these things happening again. This charity is worldwide but is doing amazing work with the stateless people of Myanmar at the moment.
Save the Amazon https://www.gofundme.com/reforesting-the-ecuadorian-amazon A friend who some of you may know and he will be taking an appearance at the wedding is helping to reforest the Amazon and work with the communities within in it who have been effected by big oil giants.
Ending homelessness https://www.crisis.org.uk Although we are not in the UK very often we can appreciate the comfort of home and how we cannot imagine what it be like to not have one. A few of close family members have worked with this charity and we have friends who always try to help with this cause. In the end we will split what ever is raised amongst the three.
We thank you for any contribution you can make and please do not feel you have to. Joining us on the day is your gift to us. Laura and Tracey xx
