We�ve achieved a lot but, putting it into perspective, so little as there is so much to do here and, whatever we did, it would never be enough.
We have told you things in some detail, not asking to be admired in any way as we don�t view it like that, but rather to let you know that we have worked hard on behalf of all of you who sponsored us and our projects.
Despite having been on a physical and emotional rollercoaster, we have been energised by others. There are so many wonderful people here doing amazing things for children and adults.
We feel that the voluntary work in India and Sri Lanka has opened our minds and hearts in many ways and we have had what feels like a lifetime of experiences. Some more photographs are below but none ever do justice to the place and the people.
We are off to New Zealand to recharge our batteries before returning home in December. Where has all the time gone?
