only 10 days to go!

Well, time speeding by as usual. Glow Star hasn't arrived yet or the Malaria Test Kits but hopefully both will be here by the end of the week. Rom has asked for Glico meter slides ! We'll have to try and find those! Richard has even marked day he needs to take his Malarone and I haven't even got my Doxycycline!
Sallie and Nor have done some fantastic fund raising with concerts, meals and walks - over £2,000 in the Friends of Buburi account. All I've managed to do is spend what I have in the account!
Rom and Paul have been in touch to say that the team of well diggers are doing well and about to reach the water - they are also going to install a pump - hope this all happens! Apparently they've started a new well as the old one became to unsafe to work in ( hardly surprising after two years!)
We haven't heard from the girls and I do hope all is well with them.
Sallie has emailed Rom today to ask whether Rose has prepared a pharmacy list so that we can get everything ordered from Ninad and pick it up promptly on Tuesday morning.
Paul tells us that he is now volunteering in a secondary school in one of the slums outside of Kisumu near the airport - we may be able to visit but I have a dreadful feeling this will be worse than Usoma school and we'll be wanting to try and help with this school as well!!!!
We had a dinner at home Saturday before last with friends - Richard took some stick over what he is going to encounter either in the house or the long drop!! This should be interesting!
Need to get to bed now ready for another day x
