The Sri Lanka Team


The Sri Lanka Team
Originally uploaded by Kirbs.
On Sunday we head off to Sri Lanka for nearly two weeks to get involved with Tsunami Relief work. Last week we met Mike Freeman the only one without a t-shirt who is our contact in Batticaloa and has helped organise the trip. It was a great day of preparation and only one of the team members couldn't make it due to ill health. Hope to post while away.

Packing

Just set up a website for sponsorship for the 15 Peaks which means if you'd like to encourage me in my attempts to conquer mountains and raise money for a local youth and community charity you can here .

Now busily packing for Sri Lanka will post a picture of the team soon. We fly on Sunday and will be travelling to Batticaloa on the East Coast. We're going to be building some temporary shelters, rebuilding a children's playground and painting the local school. We're also going to be doing lots of kids clubs. It should be an incredible experience for all sorts of reasons and I will try and post while out there.
