My Charity 

When I was a young man I travelled the world and saw many poor countries and never really questioned why the world  was like that. Now 40 years later l think the only reason that I am relatively rich and many in the world are still poor is my good luck in being born in the West. I don’t doubt that the poor Afghan  I met 40 years ago on my travels is still poor and does not have the privilege of embarking on a cycling trip in Asia.

That is why I’m  raising money for a charity.

The three most important ways we can help the less fortunate people in the world  are;

EDUCATION, EDUCATION AND EDUCATION.

This is why I’ve  chosen an orphanage  with strong educational links.

Let me introduce CAN

               CHILD ACTION NEPAL

CAN is a small charity that operates two orphanages in Nepal, one of the poorest countries in the  world.

Let me highlight just three reasons why I want to raise money for CAN.

  • It is totally centered around the children and mimics family life.
  • Education is a priority, using nearly 50% of the budget.
  • The children are cared for until they get their first job.
  • The CAN organisation is financially highly effective with no head office costs and 100% of all donations going to support the children in Nepal.
