Mary was whizzed into hospital on Christmas Eve with breathing difficulties. We were fast tracked and within hours were in the hospital ward. Excellent treatment, and she is now home. Lot of tests to come. Three lovely pictures about our work The Kindergarten. I saw a field full of Cassava sticks. Cassava is a root vegetable, which grows at the bottom of a tall cane. To propagate, we just break off a bit of the cane, plant it and within a few months we have new Cassava. This is the Kindergarten. We will be given lots of children, which we can grow on into beautiful Ghanaians Ruth House. I saw a waterfall pouring into Ruth House and then out into the surrounding area. We know that we have only just begun this piece of work, but are thrilled to think that it has a much wider function. The “Ruth House Foundation” has a big part to play here. Beloved school. I saw a huge lighthouse standing on the foundations and its light radiated far and wide. This just confirms what we believe - the school has a big part to play in the life of Ghana. The building work for the Kindergarten is under way. The Shelter is now built and just needs fitting out. The foundations of the school will be completed in the next few months. Mary and I hope to return to Ghana in March, August, October and December.
