Group Round Up - The Final Countdown

Myself, Polly B and Anna head out on The Loop tomorrow where we'll be swinging by Tango 6 to collect Del who's been out there with them this last week and then heading up to Charlie One for the opening ceremony of their houses.

Before we depart, here's a round up of all that's happening on the project sites:

Charlie One
The houses are nearly all complete as the group have been hard at work plastering, flooring and putting in windows. They've also been flexing their creative side designing a mural to leave a lasting legacy in the village.

Charlie Two
All twelve eco-santitation units have been built and their delightfully green coloured toilet pans fitted. It's just the painting and the finishing touches they've got left to do now.

Echo Three
Still slogging it out hard and loving it in the trench the group have also continued erecting more fencing. The group will be taking a well earned break today and go to visit the local Golden temple for a bit of culture.

Tango Five
Tango Five have been absoultely loving it out there in the wilderness. Yesterday they enjoyed an amazing trek through tea plantations and today is the biggy, the 26km trek. We wish them luck!

Tango Six
Tango Six have too been loving it, with blue skies above them and barely any leeches in sight they're having an amazing time. Yesterday they had a 50km cycle route which they loved and today they've got a gentle 14km walk with the reward to me, Polly B and Anna waiting to greet them at the end of it!

  5. For Jennifer Rimmer:

    Hey Hun,

    Just thought I'd send a quick message while I'm finishing some computer work! Things very busy this end with all the Christmas preparations and everything else. I spoke to your Mum a few days ago. She sends her love and said your Grandma is now out of the hospital as they'd reached the end and she's now in final care. If you get a chance to let us know your travel plans then please do as we're all a bit confused this end. I sent another parcel (hoping it would reach you) when I got your letters but it was stopped at customs as it contained face wash and has been returned to me. I'm hoping the other Christmas one has or will reach you ASAP! I've recorded the Corrie Tram Crash for you (it was great)
    Missing you loads as ever. Sending lots of love.

  6. To Katharine Studley, Charlie Two

    Hi Love,
    Many thanks for your kind words, which Michael gave to us when we arrived home. They have been a great comfort in what has obviously been a time of deep sorrow for us all. Your Grandad ask me to pass on his sincere thanks, too. He says you must try not to be too distressed. Your Grandma was peaceful at the end and he is grateful that he was able to be with her. It's a great comfort to your Grandad that all the granchildren will be with him at the funeral (Monday, December 20th), on what will be a very difficult day for us all.
    Your Mum and Michael both send their love and big hugs.

    Lots of love from Dad

    Hello love, good to read that the project you've been working on is almost complete. Well done all of you.
    Hope you're holding up okay. Can't wait to see you again and give you a really big hug. Gaz, Mike and I will all be at the airport to meet you on Saturday. Michael is staying in Wallasey to cook something tasty to welcome you home and to ensure that the rest of us get a bit of leg-room for the journey. With lots and lots of love, Mum, Dad, Michael, H&H xx
