From Daventry to Nepal: A father and son's journey to make a difference
This Saturday, 14th November, Paul Campbell, founder of Campbells Estate Agents, and his son Will Campbell are heading back to Nepal. And thanks to the generosity of the local community, they might just need a bigger suitcase!
Their journey is part of the ongoing work of the Campbells Foundation, which has a long standing connection with communities in Nepal.
Back in 2015, a devastating earthquake destroyed homes and left families facing unimaginable challenges. The Campbells Foundation stepped in to help people rebuild and create safer spaces for those whose lives had been turned upside down.
More than a decade later, that connection continues.
Paul and Will are returning to Nepal to visit children they have spent time with on previous trips, reconnecting with familiar faces and continuing the relationships they've built over the years.
And this time, they're taking a little something extra with them!
Following an appeal to the local community, lots of kind hearted people have generously donated gifts for the children, including stationery, colouring books and other thoughtful items.
In fact, with so many lovely donations coming in, Paul and Will might need a bigger suitcase!
It's a wonderful example of how a local community here in Northamptonshire can make a difference thousands of miles away.
For Campbells, the Foundation is about more than one trip or one act of kindness. It's about maintaining connections, supporting communities and remembering that even the smallest gestures can mean a great deal.
Paul and Will will be sharing their journey through the Campbells Foundation Facebook page, giving everyone back home the chance to follow along.
