Bhinder Udaipur Rajasthan 2018

My previous trip to Bhinder was so amazing and worthwhile, I am going back in April 2018. This is your chance to get on board and join me in another amazing adventure.

To see the change from dry baron land to a lake and crops and full wells in just 6 weeks was the most awe-inspiring experience I think I have ever been a part of. And that was what made it so amazing, just being part of it, knowing the villagers will benefit from our help for the rest of their days and then on into their children's lives.

So come join me. You know you want to..

Nepal October 2017

We are nearly there. October is coming around so fast. I have a great looking team of 12 members ready to help build a new home for a deserving family in the Dang region of Nepal.


Recently Nepal has suffered earthquakes and the latest natural disaster, Flooding. But these are a resilient people and they will survive. It is our job to help them along that path. We will be helping one family build a new home for the future. Can't wait.

I will post my report soon after I return to the UK, so watch this space.




Where have I been? Its been ages since the last entry

So I guess you may be asking where I have been and why haven't I been posting. Or maybe not. But I am back and can bring you up to date.

2017 has just flown past. I cannot believe we are in September already. But here we are most of the year gone, but not uneventful. Earlier in the year I was in Thailand. Lampang to be precise. Its in the north of the country, not down on the exotic coast line.



I didn't write it up when I returned because I got into remodeling a kitchen for Moira, my partner. That turned out to be an extremely lengthy task, but its all completed now and she is happy with the results.

So I will bring you up to date quickly and then move onto what I have coming up very soon.

The Thailand project was for The Fuller Center for Housing based in the USA. My hosts were Boots and Ramsey Walker Ex Habitat team leaders now hosting for TFC in Lampang. Boots is a native of the town so has a deep rooted interest in the welfare of the local inhabitants. And a great job they both do of hosting teams and building homes.

My team on this occasion was small to say the least, but we still managed to construct the best part of two homes and a small part of a third. Ted, King Henry, Chris and myself worked alongside Boots and Ramsey. Helped by members of the Fuller organisation in Lampang and some of their family, the guys employed to build these homes and of course the families that were to eventually move into them.

We had a great time working alongside so many good people, we made a difference even though we were such a small team, which just goes to show that every little helps.
