Charity!!

With all the stress of getting the visas sorted we seem to have forgotten to mention the whole reason behind the trip!

When Rob was in his gap year he worked for a couple of weeks at an Indian Orphanage called Orissa. www.orissa.org.uk It is a small charity and has no overheads and so everything we have raised will go to help the children.

We have so far raised about £600 by doing car boot sales! We had some very kind donations of things to sell from freinds and collegues and with the weather on our side we managed to sell most of it in 4 weekends! Thank you to everyone who donated some of your unwanted goods.

We hope to have a just giving account set up for the charity so that if you would like to make a donation you can. We haven't wanted to ask for sponsorship for the trip but if anyone would liek to make a donation then we would really appreciate it.

When we get back we will carry on fund raising and hope to reach £1000.

Thank you!
