Mum & Dad - This one is for you!
I asked my brother Paul to leave Australia a few years ago to come back & help with an idea to design flip flops that would allow us help build a children's home in memory of our parents who we lost in the boxing day tsunami.
After all the travelling & volunteering and the sacrifice of their lives they made to save our youngest siblings we have worked day and night to make this idea become reality. The people of Sri Lanka also helped us get to safety,we were only kids at the time so this is why we have returned to open the first Gandys Kids Campus which will hopefully see other kids in 10 years time reach their own dreams.
Some siblings can grow apart as you get older & take your own paths but we have only got stronger and have given everything since the moment of survival 10 years ago to get our youngest siblings home to now helping these children for a better future. The last few years have been hard work but wouldn't have changed it for the World and it is great to say that we have now achieved this with each other. Hopefully this is just the start & we thank all of those who have helped us on our journey and shown us the support and encouragement to make this happen.
