More arrivals and Bush Conference June 09



Already a month has passed since I last wrote on my blog. Mid May we were delighted to welcome Zoe Rew and Michael Hawtin to Katoka, they will DV be here for 6 mths they are our IT experts and are hoping to set up a computer network for the 2ndry school and teach the first class of computer basics to the teachers who will then be able to help the pupils in the future. First task though is to overall the computers at present out of 6 tested only one is completely OK and ready for use.


At the end of May Sandy and Jonny went over to Zambia to collect Angela and Paul Hannay. They will be with us until the end of August. They are helping out with practical jobs like for Paul laying floor and wall tiles and Angela has already started on a control of all the hospital linen which is great. More photos as the work progresses !!


We have just been out for our annual bush conference for all the churches in the Katoka and Divuma areas. A new experience for all our visitors and one which they seem to have enjoyed and which they have survived. Living in tents or grassy shelters can be fun ! About 500 people were present at the Sunday morning service so that was great.
