We are really looking forward to Saturday, and participating in the Sponsored Walk with Laura and Jen. The walk starts at 12:30 and everyone involved will be sponsored to walk from Falkirk Wheel to Linlithgow. We're not really sure about the distance but it doesn't matter because we will still do it!
We have some new members who are really encouraging and are helping bring new ideas to the group.
NEWS-FLASH
Aaron Hazel has come back form his holiday and has been fundrasingtastic. Oh and also his hair is growing back, Aaron has single-handedly raiseed £130 after shaving his head to raise money for Sangita orphanage, in India. His money and constant compassion has a huge influence on all of the pupils here in our school.
That brings our total to £2600. Come on guys we want to get £3000 HELP US OUT! As you know we recently donated £2000 of that money to Dwelling Places Children's home in Uganda. The rest of the money wil be divided between Sangita orphanage in India and Raising up Hope for Uganda in.....come on, work it out!
K so if you want to participate in the walk then please get in touch with us! Love, hugs and oodles of happiness

Enjoying where we are on the way to where we are going...that's the rest of the world by the way for those who haven't heard us squeal! x
10 weeks and counting!!That’s right, 10 weeks until Laura and Jenn set out on the second Soultouch trip! The second soultouch journey however has long begun. The summer was a time jam packed with preparation for both of us in many ways. Jenn spent the summer in Ireland working with children affected by serious illness, learning and growing in ways she never thought possible every day. Back in Scotland Laura was busy organising and holding several fundraising events to raise money to fund the trip and raising support throughout the St. Andrews church community, friends and family.
But now we are back together in Scotland we are slowly but surely seeing the trip becoming a reality! Vaccinations are being given, funds are being raised and ever organised Laura has even started collecting the things she will be packing (Jenn however is waiting for Laura to organise this for her as she is a terrible last-minute packer which may not suit such a mammoth trip!). However, flights still need booked before final dates for visits can be confirmed, but this is in the process of happening and will hopefully be done soon so we can get in touch with all the beautiful hosts we will be visiting!
We are both so excited for the trip to start, and although we are currently running around like headless chickens trying to organise everything right now, we both strongly believe it is all completely within the will of God and can see blessings at every stumbling point. We feel so very grateful for all the prayers we know we receive from so many amazing people supporting soultouch, and we know that this will take us much further than any amount of money ever could.
We therefore want to thank all of you who are prying for and supporting us in our work and ask you to please continue to do so as without this soultouch would be nothing. As if 4 squeeling, crazy, ditzy young girls could find their way to the local shop, let alone around the world if it wasn’t for being carried by their Father! We will be posting much more regular updates on our progress with preparations up until we leave in January, from which point the tales of long smelly bus journeys will no doubt begin!!
Thanks again
Jenn and Laura
