This trip has been a lifetime's ambition of ours & we expect it will be life changing in many ways! We will see many incredible sights both ancient & modern, good & bad, experience a number of different & varied cultures, meet new people & see incredible wildlife! In fact we will probably experience more in these next 12 months than we have already done so over the past 30 to 40 years!
We are incredibly lucky to be in a position to undertake such a trip & it is with this in mind that we are eager to utilise this unique opportunity & help raise both awareness & funds for an excellent organisation that continues to strive to improve the lives of those less fortunate than ourselves: -

AMREF - The African Medical and Research Foundation is Africa's leading health development organisation who run innovative health programmes in many African countries & aim to strengthen health systems in Africa by working with African Communities & governments. Full details of AMREF's activities & history can be found on www.amrefuk.org/uk.

Why AMREF? Well, they are obviously African based & helping many of the poeple & communities that we will be passing through but we chose AMREF because of their focus on adolescents & children under 5 i.e. those who are most vulnerable to ill health. Having both been involved in the UK Toy Industry for over 15 years we felt this would be a great opportunity to continue our association with kids. We hope to visit some of the AMREF projects on route & will be reporting back with what we see & experience. All we ask of you is to make a small donation to AMREF so we can all play a part in helping these kids stay healthy & you never know they may then even buy your toys!!

Making a donation is dead simple, just go onto the following site & follow the instructions: - www.justgiving.com/grahamclare. Thanks.
