Mary-
Today, Maya and I put up the tent in the back garden!! Can't quite believe we are doing it. I was really encouraged when my housemate came out to help us and said to me, "Mary, if you make it through tonight I'll give Oxfam International £10 and if you make it through the week i'll give you £20!". I'll have to remember this when i'm freezing cold in the tent tonight. It did make me think though... here we are making such a fuss about staying in a tent for a week, when millions of people live without clean water, adequate sanitation and often live in shanty towns. Lets see how i'm feeling about all this tomorrow!
