Talk at St. Stephen's and West Church Broughty Ferry 26th Feb

Danielle, Neal and Matthew spoke on Sunday morning about the trip to a welcoming congregation who were very interested in the update on the link between St Stephen's in Meru and St Stephen's in the Ferry as well as progress on the new kindergarten. Mrs McLuckie, who had kindly invited us to speak, as well as Mrs Kerr, Mrs Mac, Ann and Tom Millar and Stuart and Lynsey Kerr were also in attendance for our talk. Afterwards we were all invited for teas and coffees in the hall and the congregation complemented us and asked us some questions about our adventures.

This month Dani and Neal are to speak at Our Lady's Primary School in Lochee to update them on progress at their new partner school, Buuri-E-Kingori. Elijah has recently sent Mrs Kerr an email to show us that the two new classrooms are now nearing completion!

Until next month,
