Oh Alan. I wish there was some way I could join you for part of your visit. I look forward to hearing how it goes with you. I hope, in time, we will be able to go on up and help in anyway possible.

Cyndy – Have look at this advert my sister spotted on the London Underground appealing for foreign volunteers:

When I am up there I will definitely be trying to understand the most helpful opportunities for volunteers going forward…
