During December Jon and I drank and eat excessivley like the best of us !

We decided to take part in dry January for the first time.... its been harder than we expected especially with my love for gin and Jon`s for Carling.

As you may or may not be aware our daughters a couple of teachers from their wonderful school went to visit Uganda last year and now I have become involved with the steering group to help raise lots of money so that the children are able to get clean drinking water, food and an education.

At the moment they drink dirty swamp water and can go days without a meal, they are also taught under a mango tree as they dont have a school. We take water, food and an education for granted so feel that giving up on a tipple or two for these childen who are in need is the least we can do.

Please if you can spare a couple of pounds to sponsor us £300 will feed the whole Swamp Island for a school term porridge, and if we can get more to make bricks and get clean/safe drinking water that would be fantastic.

Thanks for reading Alex & Jon
