Selvin's volcano challenge...
We had originally intended to do a Acatenango/Fuego double header, but due to the recent activity of the latter, we had to change this to a double header of the two peaks of Acatenango.
Below is our challenge in pictures...
It was definitely hard work, but worth every step for that view at the summit!
Thank you to everyone who sponsored us, you have helped us to raise an incredible £800, we are beyond grateful xxx

Selvin's Volcano Challenge Guatemala 2012
In just over two weeks time, Vicki and Stu will be taking on the challenge of trekking over two volcanoes in 48 hours.
Acatenango stands at 3,976 meters (13,040 ft) tall, while Fuego stands at 3,763 m (12,346 ft). We will be battling altitude and both volcanoes are active, with the latter issuing smoke daily.
Following your amazing support over the past year we are able to provide over 300 text books, a computer and a printer to local schools in Guatemala. Every penny makes a huge difference, and this is the difference you have helped us to make this year.
To help us make a difference next year, We are asking our supporters to donate £1 for our volcano challenge.
You can donate via our website using the paypal option.

We are Selvin
What a difference a year makes!
We have agreed that we will donate a total of £1200 to two local schools in Guatemala, which will be used to build libraries of books for both current and future generations of children to benefit from. Today we heard that this money should provide in the region of 150 books for each school, which is beyond amazing!
We have also decided that we will purchase a computer and printer to be placed in one of the schools for teachers to prepare and plan their lessons, a vital resource which we know will be put to great use.
Stu and I very much look forward to traveling to Guatemala next month to deliver these school materials in person, and we will also be taking on the following challenge...
Roll on July!

The Edinburgh Marathon Festival
A slightly belated but hugely deserved WELL DONE and THANK YOU to our amazing friends, Stew and Sarah, who ran 40 miles for Selvin and raised over £380 in the process.
This will make such a huge difference in Central America, helping some of the world's poorest children get an education.
