When Plan came to Natalie and I earlier this year with an opportunity to support a project again, little did we know how much the stories of the Nepali children whose lives had been turned upside down by the earthquakes would personally affect us. Girls and boys vulnerable to abuse, child marriage and even trafficking because they no longer had a safe place to go to school. It made us think of our little girl and what her life could have been like if circumstances were different.

We were moved to support in whatever way we can, and we are inviting you to join us so that these children can get back to school - to safety - as soon as possible.

With your support, a rebuilt school will give currently enrolled students aged 3-18 the chance to continue their education, and will ensure future generations of children have a safe space to learn. The school will be built back better meaning it will withstand further tremors and together we will prevent future tragic events like last year's. Locals said it was a small miracle that the first earthquake happened on a Saturday as no children were in school when the building collapsed.

We've been supporting Plan for a number of years now and with each project we've funded, our admiration and respect for this charity has increased in equal measure. I had the chance to see it in action with my son Max when we visited the school we funded in Ghana in 2010. Plan doesn't just build schools, it works very closely with local people to improve lives in very practical and successful ways from water projects, education, micro banking, entrepreneurship and enterprise, Plan insinuates itself into the most needy societies and brings about real change. It's very impressive.

Our brief visit to this small, inspiring community in Ghana six years ago
affected us immeasurably. It was a day we will never forget. A day which changed our view of the world. A day of magic.

Join us in supporting this fabulous school rebuild project and experience the absolute joy and magic of making a real difference to the lives of generations of children in Nepal.
