Visitors to the new Shalom House

Dr. Wayne Centrone, director of Health Bridges International and a good friend and supporter, visited the new property for the ministry of Shalom on Friday 22nd January. Diocesan nurse Epifania accompanied us to have a look at the facilities and together consider the challenges on the health issues, ramps, medical attention etc.

Our therapists and teacher also visited to give opinions on their requirements for therapy space and classrooms










On Monday 25th Luisa and I met with the architect from Aynimundo to begin discussing ideas and investigate the structural aspects of the building and the list of needs and requirements.

Please continue to pray that God would give us wisdom in making decisions and agreeing plans for the benefit of all the therapies and activities we envisage happening in this new centre. Pray also for funds to be given to complete the purchase price and for the refurbishment.

Many thanks to those who have already sent donations to SAMS.

New Year Move

I arrived back into the UK on 30th December to move mum into her new flat. My sisters had already got the furtniture in and all that was left was to get mum there and unpack. She was successfully installed and we had a family lunch to celebrate. It is a lovely flat with two bedrooms and a sunny outlook.
