    Can you just turn up at a school though? I have helped children read in a local school down here in Somerset and would love to contribute in whatever way possible.

    As for taking football shirts: I don't want to be defending "Warnockball" lest I be challenged in the playground.....

    Yes, it happens quite often.

    I am a supporter of a small charity that provides support to a village in The Gambia. We have built a school that now has 700 pupils in two shifts, a medical centre and a maternity unit. A Dutch charity has provided two ambulances.

    If you do visit any schools please take a box of pencils, as they will be greatly appreciated.

    Oh and make sure that you have all of your jabs.

    Cheers. I am pretty good with having jabs etc. If you care to drop me a line about which school you are involved with I would be happy to contact them direct rather than turn up on spec - and would be prepared to do two or three days there if I can be of any help in any way.
    As far as pencils are concerned: 2B or not 2B? That is the question!

    It would probably be a good idea to wear your "I'm NOT a Pedo Tourist" T-shirt if you do..
