There are now only 5 weeks until we leave and we have had our injections. We went to Dingwall doctors surgery to get them done. The first injection was in my left arm that was the typhoid. In the right arm I had Hepatitis A & B (in one injection). Mum had the same but she also had another injection in her left arm for polio/tetanus/diptheria. We looked like pincushions!

We have been sending and getting emails from Nepal Orphans Home about when we are arriving and what type of things to take with us. Emma, who works for Nepal Orphans Home, is going to meet us at the airport.

If you look at the Nepal Orphans Home website (www.nepalorphanshome.com) you will find a news update from December 10. About halfway down the update there are pictures of a new house, with girls who have been rescued from slavery. This is the house that we will be staying in when we are in Nepal.

We are now planning two more fundraising events before we go. Hopefully there will be a jumble sale and coffee morning in Dingwall, and The Florians in Inverness have offered to put on a musical show to raise money. We will let everyone know dates once these are organised.
