Story
This summer as Team Flying Carpet, my twin brother and I will be delivering an Ambulance to Mongolia as part of UK based charity Go Help. As a team of two, we'll be sharing the 10,000 mile drive that will take us through 17 countries and take 2 months to complete. Upon arrival in Mongolia we will donate the vehicle along with £1,000 and equipment to the local charities there who set-up health and educational projects for children in Mongolia.
Mongolia is a very poor country and it’s economic and climate conditions mean that poor people, especially children, fall victims of such harsh conditions. As we work with children we see no difference between children here and those abroad, and we believe every child in the world deserves the right to a good childhood and a chance to thrive in life.
Please check out the links below and find out more about us and see what you can do to help us out. You may also prefer to give us things that you think might make our journey easier or things that we can sell to raise money or donate to the charities in Mongolia :)
Many Thanks!
