Thanks for sharing your blog. Sorry about the time taken to complete the enterprise return. If you save it for next year it will only take a minute next year.
Think we could put some of your trip info into the next enterprise news and hools are always looking for good causes for charity donations from their enterprise activities....might help your fundraising. Will talk after the hols. Relax and enjoy the cool.
Hi Heather.
Glad you found the blog. I have last year's you know, never thought to adapt it! Still jet lagged. Thanks for thinking of us for next Enterprise news. We'd appreciate that and your ideas about donations sounds great too. Talk in September.

Wow Sheila. Thanks for reminding me about the blog. what was I thinking...I should have been following your progress. I have been moved to tears and filled with hope by your stories.

Hi Sheila,
What a wonderful story.
We have for many years been supporting children in schools like this in Cambodia and you are so right seeing the conditions they go to school in and how little amounts make a big difference is an eye opener.
When my children went to school in Singapore the school children(from early primary age) got involved in fund raising for children in Cambodia, Indonesia and Thailand. It was made very real to the students when they learned how things like pencils/notebooks are highly valued. Each year they organised a shipment to the schools, the cost of shipping was sponsored by companies (a remember part of it was done via DHL whom the older students made a deal with)
When we came back to Scotland we therefore expanded out sponsor ships of children in the schools and our children donate part of their pocket money toward the sponsorships, this was their choice.
Reading your blog brought it all back and I will share this with my girls tonight.
Good luck with the fund raising it is so worth while. Education is so needed in those communities, it is the only way they can break the circle of dispair some of them find themself in.
