We were in Sri Lanka when the tsunami hit on Boxing Day 200 I was 15 and my brother was 17 at the time.Sadly,we lost our parents in that disaster.
Three years before the tsunami,our parents said we were to be removed from our structured school system in England and enrolled in what they believed to be the best education form:the university of life.As a family,we traveled the world,jumping from county to county and doing volunteer work along the way.
In the years after the tsunami,my brother and I were still both zealous travelers and often set off separately on our own adventures.It was our travels that inspired us to help others.We'd seen various products people wanted when they were on the move and we knew that if we created them,the profits from our business could go towards supporting those in need,especially kids.
So in 2012,we founded Gandys.From our bedroom in Brixton,we designed a range of clothing and accessories (配飾),with a part of the profits from each sale going towards helping children around the world by building Kids' campuses and offering support including education,medication and healthy food.The first campus we built was in Sri Lanka,and then the next one was built.
The stand-out moment for Gandys came in October 2019.To mark the 15th anniversary of the tsunami,we opened our third campus in Nepal,a country that has seen its fair share of terrible events.
Help is still needed long after the event itself,but people often lose interest after a year or so and move on to other things.That's why we feel it's important to build lasting projects which support communities for the years ahead.
