I forgot to tell you about the......BEACH GATHERING!

Towards the end of June Abu, Erin (an American Physio who has been doing some work with us) and I decided we'd like to do something to celebrate a year of this community based rehab in Sierra Leone.


So we decided to invite all out current children, a sibling and a carer to come to the beach for fun in the sea and sand.


Not really sure how many would come we spent an evening cutting up many a pineapple, mango and banana by torch light hoping it would all go. Rainy season was just starting so again we were praying that we'd have a dry morning.


Well.......






We had many volunteers join us and we could not have manged without them.....



we think nearly 90 poeple came, and we sure had a great time.



It didnt rain until we had packed up to go home, and the fruit and drink was the exact amount needed right to the last few late comers had had their fill too!

Praise God for such a wonderful event.

The only sad news we have though is that Kadija, this lovely girl with Downs Syndrome very suddenly died just a few weeks after this event. She too enjoyed all the fun and games and will be sadly missed by us and her family. Please pray with us for her family who deeply cared for her.
