In a few hours we will be leaving sunny Recife and flying back to the UK for a time of sharing with supporters and to spend Christmas and New Year with family and friends. We are sad to leave the boys in the house. Especially sad to hear that one of the boys who we are close with who did the triage ( but wasn't ready to come to the house) has been jailed. He is 14. His last words to use a few weeks ago when we were on the street were.. "I'm gonna succeed next time".. ( to go the boys house). We know that we will be back in Recife soon and that we still have a part to play in this boys life. We are looking forward to the UK though and excited to see everyone very soon. Now back to the packing...

One of dear friends in Bogota is getting married whilst we are in the UK. We were gutted we couldn't go to the wedding but decided we would spend some time with them before. It turned out to be a wonderful trip. We spent time with the Kiwi house family and had fun, relaxed, ate good food and and felt encouraged and inspired by their brilliant work.
