NEWSLETTER NO. 94 Hello!
Hello! How are you? My heartiest greetings to each and every one of you in this new year which I pray will bring you peace, happiness and prosperity. It was a very happy day on the 19th as I celebrated my 16th anniversary of coming to Sierra Leone! And I’m still enjoying it and getting so much reward from what I’m doing. All the pupils came back to school having had a good holiday and raring to get back to their lessons. As schools didn’t start until the third week there were no activities, so it was a very quiet month. However, we (administration and staff) were busy doing cleaning, repairs and maintenance. We also utilized some of the space within the school building – we divided the Braillists’ office and made a Bursar’s office; then we partitioned off a corner of one of the corridors and made a new office for the Integration Teacher. We also made plans for other projects which I shall talk about in future newsletters as they come to fruition. I went to a special service at St. George’s Cathedral at which Bishop Lynch inducted ten new Lay Canons. It was a lovely service and it was good to chat with him after the service. And that is all the news I have for the present – this must be one of my shortest newsletters! So I will close for now except to wish, on behalf of all of us here at the School, each and every one of you a peaceful, happy, healthy and prosperous 2008 and as always, I send best wishes to those celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, and any other happy event. I also send goodwill messages and solicitations/condolences to those who are not well or have a bereavement or have received any sad news. From all the children and staff here at the School and myself, I send all our love and prayers to you and your families and friends. Take care and may God richly bless you all.
