Hello everyone,
Once again its been a busy couple of weeks - time is flying past and I never seem to catch a breath. All the schools have closed for the summer holidays and our school had our closing celebration. Here you can see one of the teachers performing a song with our toddlers about Noah and the ark where the children have to name the animals in the ark!
One of our children called Gresham was involved in a terrible car accident about 6 months ago and has been in hospital ever since. He was discharged just before our closing so here you can see his mother on the right with Gresham in a suit and his friends all around him. He has a badly broken leg and is having intensive physiotherapy to help him to walk again. Such a brave little boy.
Just a couple of pictures from the day! Don't you love the hats!!

During the past week the caregivers from Mzuzu Presbytery were having a refresher course with Nicolas and Enala the trainers in the Presbytery...
In February, we trained 18 more trainers and so Mercy (on the left)joined Nicolas and Enala to learn more about facilitation and content of training. She is the trainer in Jombo Presbytery and has a very big area to cover as she monitors our CBCC's there.

A couple of the play areas set up using locally available materials (rubbish)to show the caregivers what to do...
On Thursday I had to go to Lilongwe as I had a meeting on Friday morning. Fidelis came with me and on the way back we stopped to price a snack - these mice cost K100 each - around 25p........if you want to place an order just let me know!! I declined to taste them!

Many of you have been praying for Nicolas, and indeed many of you met him when he was in Ireland a couple of years ago. I am pleased to tell you that Nicolas is now the proud holder of a Diploma in Early Childhood Development! He has worked really hard and deserves it. He has also been appointed ECD project officer and so will be working alongside me in the Synod, so I am even more delighted about this development.
Continue praying for him in what will be a challenging job as he works with fellow trainers, caregivers, churches and communities
Wishing you all a great week and if you are on holidays - enjoy!!
Blessings,
Diane
Love the new look web page and the hats - but the mice are a different story altogether!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Nicolas on gaining his diploma. Hopefully time will slow down a little during the school holidays and everyone will have the opportunity for some rest and relaxation.
Great to see the positive outcomes of all your work in Malawi, what a great team you have.
