Family News

Maria
   We worked in the project with the school, nursery and social enterprise. I specialised in the business side and led on the sales and marketing strategy. I am pleased to say we smashed every single target - we attained the highest monthly sales record by any team and  got 8 new businesses stocking our products. We recorded a tv interview on the product and secured a free radio advertising space. We also provid-ed enough income to cover all the unexpected extra costs that a new government policy had imposed, so no women were let go.                         As you can imagine I didn't want to leave!  

Jerome: Hey! Well apart from university and all the coursework that comes with it which I'm submerged in at the moment I do have a few interesting things to let you know about! Me and my girlfriend Fiona went on holiday to Ireland for just shy of a week and learnt a lot about the troubles in Belfast + how to make Guiness + that it does'nt always rain in Ireland.


   I also spent two weeks in Scotland helping Ian and June with a bit of milking as they were trying to get to grips with a new milking parlour. I've got exams coming up but quite looking forward to finishing my 2nd year of university and going to Uganda for a dose of sun and to see old friends. I also have a placement year to look forward to and my 21st birthday celebrations :) 

Visits from our son Laurence and friend Walt



Adam: Laurence  enjoyed sharing his passion for football, volley ball. Walt enjoyed sharing his passion for  gardening, helping children laugh and learn. They, Helen, I and several  YWAM youth also really got into chess,  too.  I have adapted the game, re-naming it the Kingdom Game to help our base youth to learn to play it and related to its characters.
