Chief Alie Mansaray and Kamasorrie Village

The Shoes from the “We got Feet” Campaign are being distributed, one at a time, foot after foot. Many have been given out from St. Laurence House in Freetown

and along the way up to our school in Kabala.

Lots of happy children have new shoes! … and many adults!

NHA was most pleased to present Chief Alie Mansaray of Kamasorrie Village with a nice new pair of red shoes.

There are a lot of streams on the way to his village and these rubber shoes will come in very handy.

We are delighted to see Chief Alie looking well and healing up after his recent surgery in Kabala.


Fr. Seraphim traveled with James and Pa Foday to Kamasorrie Village
during our visit last month. They journeyed through the jungle vegetation,

crossing rivers

and streams to bring

the much needed

Vitamin A

which the village

requested for their

children’s eye health.


It was during this visit that Chief Alie

Fr. Seraphim, Pastor (Pa) Foday & Chief Alie

confided in Fr. Seraphim that he was suffering a rather large hernia-one that was ready to rupture at any time.

Fr. Seraphim, through NHA, arranged for this surgery and paid for it.
Kamasorrie is one of our favorite villages.

We make every effort to keep them in supplies.

The beautiful people are so welcoming and dear to us.
A few years back when we made the trip to Kamasorrie Father Seraphim found a blue bead

which he placed on one of his sets of prayer beads.

To watch the story of the blue bead on our YouTube Channel click here. On this trip, he returned showing them that the same blue bead still remains on his beads,

a daily reminder of this village and its wonderful people.

If the shoe fits, wear it…


So many shoes, so many feet.

This definitely is an all day job.

Foot after foot,

shoes are tried on to find that perfect fit.

I think Kadijah,

James,

Lucy

& Ann Marie

know how the Royal Assistants must have felt when they tried shoes on all of the kingdom to find the true fit of Cinderella’s glass slipper.

Even lil Roo helped out.

although sometimes,

it was more fun to just kick back into all the shoes.

Finally at the end of the day, everyone has shoes.



I want to especially thank James for documenting this all in photos so that we all can participate in this great Shoe Event.

Its not over yet, more shoes, more photos tomorrow…

Shoes for the students of Nazareth House Apostolate

Nazareth House Apostolate is truly blessed by the many capable helpers & supporters that work together to perform the needed duties.

Most especially we are grateful for the Mansaray family

who just happens to be our staff. James, Kadijah, Lucy, Ann Marie

and yes, even little Roo, work hard to fulfill the needs of the people of their country through NHA.

As James and the family travel through Sierra Leone on their way to Kabala they have been delivering shoes to the villages along the way. Now it is time to hand out the shoes to our students at our school in Kabala.

Our friends in Kabala are always ready to help, carrying the barrel and boxes of shoes

up towards the school.

Next the shoes must be emptied from the containers,

sorted and

fitted to feet that are anxiously waiting.

Roo decides to take advantage of one last romp in the shoes.

What fun,

what excitement.

As always at our school, the children begin each event with prayer.

Our school has both Muslim and Christians enrolled and each practice their own religious traditions, respectful of the differences.

The school is truly a work of unity.
Last month, when Fr. Seraphim and I were in Kabala,

I noticed some of the students, most had shoes on their feet but more times than not the shoes they had did not fit.

They were either too big and the children had to stuff extra socks in them to be able to keep them on.

…. or they were too small and pinched the child’s toes. How wonderful that they now have shoes that fit… it makes a big difference. A BIG difference!

Nazareth House Apostolate is happy to be able to show you the results of your donations and compassion, check back tomorrow for more details and latest updates on your work in Sierra Leone! Thank you! God bless you, always.
