Sitting around of a Sunday evening and discussing the great work that our dear friends at Child Action Lanka do, got Camilla thinking that with Christmas cards on the horizon, there must be a better way.  We can wish you all a Happy Christmas AND tell you our news AND at the same time raise money for CAL.  So, instead of us sending us a card, please donate what you would have spent on a card and stamp (or at least that) to CAL (www.childactionlanka.org) and at the same time leave us a Christmas message.

We have been out to visit the projects with the street children and were blown away by the transformation that education and support is bringing to these children all over Sri Lanka.

Our news is that we still live in Clapham, we are still all doing too much, photocopying and podcast-making, being a nuisance in the neighbourhood running street parties, keeping the rabbit alive, (and the children), J is 13 and a delightful teenager, EV is 11 and thriving at a weekly boarding school, and El is 7 and wants to be a scientist or a cook, or a paramedic. 

Well that's enough for now, we send you all our best and have a wonderful 2016.  Come and see us if you are in the area, we always have an open house.

To make it more fun, Robert has promised that if we reach the £8000 aim he will take drastic celebratory action - please provide suggestions below.
