Story

“We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.”  Herman Melville

I was privileged to volunteer in Nepal with All Hands earlier this year. This experienced enriched and changed my outlook on life in so many ways. Being able to join All Hands in Ecuador as the program's engagement coordinator is humbling to me, and I hope to add some value here. 

This is one of the most transparent, goal-driven organisations I have ever come across; that goal being solely to rebuild hope in disaster affected communities. You can be certain that any money donated to All Hands goes in direct support of the communities we serve. Never underestimate the power of even the tiniest amount. 

Much love.
