Merry Christmas to all our supporters
Christmas is a providing us with a wonderful opportunity to pass on our thanks to everyone of our supporters. That sentiment is shared by our friends in Malawi who offer a great big thank you for so many things including repairs to houses and schools damaged in the recent storm, food for some families who just didnt know where else to turn, seeds enabling families to grow their own food, training in self employment, resources for schools and many other items.
Fr Owen our Parish Priest in Sitima Parish tells us that the recession is hitting badly, with petrol, amongst other things, extremely scarce limiting the transport of supplies around the country.
The people remain resilient coping with what life brings them and sharing whatever they have
Thank you and wishing you a healthy, happy and fruitful Christmas and New Year
