Day at the Beach

Tristan and Emma enjoying a day at the beach as their
summer vacation draws to a close.
Along with regular classes in Eastleigh last week, we met again with our colleagues serving with the Garissa TB ministry. While the ministry faces many challenges, we are trying to go deeper together in improving this ministry to victims of TB. Among the changes being developed at the TB manyatta, our friend Mohammed is trying to get permission from the Hospital authority to use the unutilized land around the feeding project for a kitchen garden that can not only be used to help with feeding program, but could also serve as a teaching component to the ministry by introducing techniques in arid land farming.
This week in Eastleigh, the Women's ESL classes are writing their first revision tests covering the first ten units in their curriculum. The weekly quizzes have proven to be quite a challenge for the women, but they are persevering together.
On Friday, we will be hosting teachers from Rosslyn Academy who will be visiting the ministry at the Eastleigh Community Centre. We are so thankful for several of the teachers and parents from the Rosslyn community who have supported the pottery ministry and even helped with the children's program this past year.

Hi Aaron and Erica
It is coolish and rainy in Moncton today and it was the same in PEI when we were there Yesterday. We had a lopster dinner at the New Glasglow Lopster suppers as the end of our vacation.
Just thought you might want to here some Maritime happenings.
Love and Prayers Jane and John Weiler
