Have just heard from Paul Roden at Marich Pass..................... it has been raining but now the weather has cleared and everything that can make noise................. IS! To me that means the cicadas and other insects as well as the song of hundreds of species of birds that fill the air from sunrise to sunset.
I close my eyes and I'm there..................... and soon 30+ of us will be!
In answer to many questions that I have been asked............... if you want to take packs of pens, pencils, crayons or felt tips as GIFTS for the children in Marich and elsewhere please feel free to do so. In addition, old clothes or shoes can be taken and Paul Roden will arrange distribution to those in greatest need of support. Furthermore, if you have children's books which are surplus to requirements, these can also be taken and perhaps we can start to build a small library in order to improve the literacy of some.
We are taking with us, as reported in an earlier post, a supply of T-Shirts and Sweat Shirts which were kindly donated and more recently a company in Norwich has donated a supply of stationery which will be added to the pile of donations accumulating in my lab at school.
HOWEVER, do not forget that the baggage limit will be 20kg per passenger although there is always some leeway but at the discretion of the airline. This does not mean that 20kg has to be taken as any shortfall, I'm sure, will be absorbed by the 'donations' that we will be caryng with us. Also remember to carry valuables and heavier items in your hand luggage and it is best to wear clothing that may be bulky or weighty thus reducing the weight (or should that be mass?) of checked baggage.
