This is the very first blog we've ever done, so please bear with us as we get used to blogging. If you've been directed here from the facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=102004279842621&ref=ts) then you'll know exactly what this is all about. If not, then allow me to tell you.
There are over a million children in Eastern Europe who every day deal with severe disabilities whilst living in acute poverty. Although forgotten by most of society, there are those who strive to improve the lives of these disadvantaged children whose work goes almost unnoticed.
These children are completely dependent on a minority of extraordinary people who devote their lives to help them, but for whom acquiring even the most basic provisions is a difficult struggle. We're taking steps to raise awareness of how these children live and the effort that goes in to help, and how you can help transform their lives to give them the quality of life every child has a right to.
Starting out from Munich in late June, together we will be travelling around Eastern Europe, visiting some of the people and places that endeavour to improve the lives of less fortunate children. Our trip will take us to a dozen different countries, and as many cities in order for us to view firsthand the variety of work that is done there.
As we travel using blogs, pictures and video diaries we will be recording our experience to enable us to share it with others and raise some awareness to their cause. This is not a sponsored trek, or an attempted charity mission, our sole aim is to share our experience in order to raise awareness.

We've got just over 2 months until we leave, so the hard work is really beginning to start for us. We're currently in the process of arranging visits to hospitals, sanctuaries, homes etc on our travels, working hard on getting ourselves noticed, and about to start a bit of training to get us in a bit of shape...
Along with updates to the facebook group, we'll also be updating this blog regularly. I imagine our first couple of updates on this blog will be pretty damn poor seen as we've never done something like this before. Don't worry, we'll get better. Promise.
Pete.

Looks great!
ReplyDeleteI am so in awe of what you're all doing. I look forward to reading your updates, and I will do everything I possibly can to publicise your efforts. Perhaps you could do a post letting us people watching you know what we might be able to do to help, if anything?
