From Tiannah Viechweg at Twenty Twenty TV:-
Hi,
We are currently making a programme for Channel 4 in which we are following 4 families on their travels. At the moment we would really like to get one more on board. Through the films we hope to highlight just how rewarding, educational and most importantly possible it is to go travelling with the kids. I am trying to get in touch with families planning a gap break ideally for 3 months or more.
Our hope is that the programmes will inspire more parents thinking about this kind of trip to actually take the plunge and get involved around the world. We also want to highlight the positives of this kind of experience has on a family unit and the educational benefit for children. Each family
would be left with a unique travel-log of their journey.
We don’t plan to be with the family the entire time but would provide them with a small camera to record the events with us dropping in at certain key points along the way, because this is an observational series we feel that this is the best way for each of the families to really own the films. Each family will also get the opportunity to watch the programme before they air.
I am trying to spread the hunt for families as wide as possible, as you can imagine it’s a bit of a needle in a haystack trying to find people so any help at all would be greatly appreciated. If you know of anyone planning anything at all then I would love to hear from them. Please let me know your thoughts.

· From Glen & Lois Pattison in Canada:-
my wife and I have just completed “the world” of travel, A to Z. It has taken us 30 years and about 100 countries but we have recently completed the alphabet (no X) and wonder if there’s a club anywhere that might have formed with that goal in mind.
