Day 216 - Mauritius 🇲🇺 - The 196 Foundation... 😬😬😬 DO YOU WANT TO HELP? - It’s not like me to rest; and today is no different. Along with everything else that’s going on, a small group of brilliant people have been helping me move forward with my new foundation. We are now registered but won’t official launch for a while. I just want to share with you some updates on the project and get your FEEDBACK PLEASE - It was always the plan to form some sort of non profit or charity to help the legacy of this trip live on. The 675 days of this expedition are all about raising money for Prostate Cancer U.K... but once the trip is complete I want the contacts, people and places I’ve come to know, to be put to good use. The 196 Foundation is my way of helping the countless communities and people I’ve seen that need a leg up in life. - The official website, along with ways to get involved will launch very soon... - Here’s the basics: - 1. We provide support for existing charities, non profits, volunteer groups and individuals. 2. We don’t set up brand new initiatives but instead support the work of others that need a little extra help. 3. I am asking for anyone and everyone to donate £1.96 per month (just £23.52 per year to the foundation. 4. Over a 12 month period we find communities that need help. (I’ve already had 3 submit for help) 5. Once a year, every August, for 30 days, every donor gets the chance to vote on which group, community or charity we help. 6. For every month you donate, you get one vote. Donate for 12 months, you get 12 votes. 7. You donate, you decide who you want to help... 8. Finally, if you’re feeling hugely generous, you volunteer your time to help implement the support. 9. We tell you where your money went, who we helped and thank you. 10. The process starts all over again. One project per year, supported and chosen by you. - From the charities on your doorstep to the far flung initiatives all over the world; I have come to understand so many people need a leg up in life. - My dream is that the foundation grows in size and in a few years time we’ll have hundreds of donors.
