TICKETS ARE BOOKED!

Woo! It is finally official, on the 20th June 2014 we will be on our way to Nairobi to start our Nasio Trust adventure; climbing Kilimanjaro and volunteering in the local daycare centres to help build schools and shelters for young children that have been orphaned as a result of HIV'S. We thought The Nasio Trust was an amazing charity and really wanted to support a charity that doesn't get a lot of attention but does lots of AMAZING work, if you would like to check out some of the other work the Nasio Trust do, click here to visit their website, or watch the video below... it will make you laugh and cry...

The flights are actually booked now, it feels so great as in January 2013 when we decided to attempt this challenge, we wanted it to do it in the following September (2013), a rather ambitious goal, we nearly made it with our fundraising target and were going to put the rest of the money towards it from our own savings, but then we got engaged...and needed the money for the wedding so we had to postpone it, now, thanks to kind donations and sponsorship we finally have enough to do it and we have booked our tickets!!  The target was to raise £5,900 together and check out our running total...Our Page

We are really thankful to everyone that has helped us get this far, we really couldn't have done it without you all, your money really will be changing the life of little ones in desperate need of care and will definitely be pushing us to our own physical and emotional boundaries. We are trying to work hard towards raising the rest of the money and getting ourselves in shape for the climb and we are having lots of fun doing so. We can't quite believe how quickly it is coming around now, only 123 days!

It is so exciting, Dan is a little apprehensive just because of the complete LARGE scale of this challenge and Seb is a little worried because he STILL has a knee injury and physio doesn't seem to be helping :( Regardless of whether we make it to the top or not, all the money will be going to the charity and it will be one of the most rewarding experiences for us both but we are hoping and praying that Seb's knee will be better by then so we can give it our best efforts to conquer Kilimanjaro. We will definitely keep you posted about this in June.

Thanks for stopping by!

Dan & Seb

Ich Liebe Deutsch

For a while last year, Seb and I said it would be really cool for him to teach me German but we just never really had the time and as we only got to see each other for weekends, studying German wasn't very high on our list of things to do... This year however, although things are getting very busy, we have been able to spend some time doing this, and it is great! We sit down in the evening together and have a German lesson.

Seb ist die Besten Lehrer (is the best teacher) and I am slowly but surely learning some German, it is lots of fun and I am excited to learn more and more so that I will eventually be able to have a fluent conversation in German without having to refer to my vocab or homework book.

Seb really gets into the role as a teacher, he gets out his whiteboard, stands at the front of the classroom, I mean our little spare room, and even puts on his new glasses to feel more like a teacher...his words...Check out his new glasses, I think he looks really smart...

He wasn't very happy about having to wear glasses for the first time in his life but he is getting use to them now.

I am grateful to have such an intelligent and patient husband that can and is willing to teach me German, laugh at my mistakes before correcting them and lets me switch to Italian when I can understand what he says but don't know how to reply. :) Thanks a lot Seb!
