A KIND and caring couple are leaving their jobs and families to help rebuild Nepal following the devastating earthquakes that killed more than 8,000 people last year.

Aiden Tate, 24 of Pennygate Close, Hindley, and Natalie Hulme, 22, from Bolton, are going there for two months from September 22 to help build schools and homes as part of the All Hands Volunteers disaster relief charity and then plan to embark on humanitarian missions in other countries.

They need to pay for their own travel expenses and food and are appealing to Journal readers to help fund their bid to make the world a better place.

Aiden said: “We are both quitting our jobs and moving halfway around the world to not only build schools and homes but to document our time there with weekly YouTube videos showing how people are really living in Nepal.

“We have already sold a lot of our things and saved money for this trip but we are hoping that people will help us.

“Any donation to help us and the charity assist people who are struggling will be hugely appreciated.

“And any money left after our two months in Nepal will be given to the charity.”

The couple have only been together for a year and admit they are scared as well as excited to be making such a drastic change to their lives.

Aiden, who is sacrificing his career as an account manager, added: “I was really disillusioned with how Western societies are and the fact that I had a nine-to-five job and did not feel like I was giving back in any way.

“But I was afraid to make a move and do anything on my own.

“After meeting Natalie and realising that we both wanted to do similar things, we decided to make this move together, which is scary but really exciting.

“We are both quitting our jobs “Our families are a bit gutted because they will miss us, but they are very proud of us.”
