They are now parents to two teenage girls (Charlotte and younger sister Matilda) who are preparing to leave Shanghai, the only city they have ever called home, for Washington DC. Though Heather says she and George once thought they would be in Shanghai "forever", after 16 years they are heading back to the US.

In the last six months, more than 300 Afghan children have been killed or maimed by landmines and other unexploded devices.
