As my mother passed away recently, Susan & I are spending a bit longer in Europe than usual. We’re happy to say that w enow have our plans lined up for our next round-the-world trip which is as follows:

End of April: return to the Bahamas to carrry on our drug-awareness programs in the schools & other institutions. Besides the capital Nassau, we also want to spend some time in the ‘family islands’ doing the same work, & already have our plane
tickets for Eleuthera—an amazing island that’s looks a bit like an eel: 102 miles long but only a few miles wide! 

Besides the Bahamas, we’re also looking at the possibilities of visiting either Jamaica or the Turcs & Caicos islands to conduct our programs there.

End of July until roughly the end of the year: back in Fiji! We have an enourmous quantitiy of schoolbooks & library books in our storage room & plan to distribute most of these in the village schools found in poorer areas such as the Lau group islands & Kadavu. It looks like 2012 is going to be a busy year!
