Synod

it is taking over all life at the diocese, I guess I never really thought about the intensity of getting things gathered together for it, like writing all your finals on one day, another wedding tomorrow

HOMEWORK CLUB IN BOMINI

Anglican Church waiting for a roof,wood has been ordered

Mother Felicia wanted a pilot project of a homework club in Bomini to be conducted through the Anglican church. She and I gathered material, toys and school supplies and we delivered them today. This village is 200 km from Sunyani and has limited resources. Mother Felicia is using this as a pilot hopefully to use the model in other Anglican Churches in the diocese.

WARM, NO FAN AS HYDRO OFF 6AM TO 6PM

the fan I got at the wedding on Saturday works very well
we have a little bet here as to whether the electricity will come back on at Canadian 6pm or Ghanaian  6pm which could mean any time after 6pm, so today Canada won and I circled the court yard reminding folks it was Canadian 6pm YES! the fan working again
- evening spent working thru the synod reports getting them in shape for printing

Sunday

only was at first service and worked on projects to get them underway for the next few hours, start for Canada 3 weeks tomorrow, time is going by fast

HAIRDRESSING SHOP AT THE PRISON

last year in collaboration with prison officials they determined that a hair dressing salon would be a great addition to enable the inmates to learn the skill of hairdressing so they can be employed upon discharge.

Mary on the other end is the coordinator who makes things happen

so the decision to make a salon, need a container (shed) bought use one and had it moved   it landed

 

 

May 6th, 2015 today was the official opening with District Superintendent and all down the line

it looks great and they are very pleased, the prison hooked up the water and the hydro and have hired a teacher
