Welcome!!

Hi!

On 15th August, Ellie and I will be flying out of Heathrow off on an adventure to Nepal, bringing speech and language therapy to a charity called SGCP: Self-help Group for Cerebral Palsy. We will be joining two physios from Leeds Met who are flying out this week, and staying for 3 months, offering whatever help and support we can.

This blog will hopefully record some of our adventures while we are away. Hopefully they'll be better written than this, but the first entry is always pretty hard, and it's especially hard when we haven't even gone yet. So far we have abseiled off buildings to raise money for the charity, graduated from the course (a key part) and booked flights and accomodation. We've done some research around the charity and I've visited a local specialist school working with a large CP caseload to get some ideas and advice, but I get the sense that nothing can really prepare us for what we will find when we arrive, and until then, all we can do is wait...
