Lucy & Ann Marie excel in school

It is extremely hot in Freetown right now, there is a gas crisis and the girls are having to walk great distances in the heat to attend school. Click on the picture below of Lucy walking to school. Clicking on any picture in this blog enlarges it to see details. Notice beads of sweat on her forehead, and this is early morning. Bless her heart, what discipline these girls have to attend school.

However both girls, value and appreciate their education. They know that it is important and are very thankful for those who contribute regularly to provide this schooling for them, namely Claudio & Shelly Lopez and Jim and Glenda Krapf.

Both Ann Marie and Lucy are doing excellent in their new schools. James and Kadijah saw fit to place them in different schools this year to deepen their career choices.

Lucy, hopeful to be an accountant is attending the Lebanese International school where this career is specialized. Here is her recent report card.


Ann Marie, attending the International School, is seeking to become a lawyer. This is the best school for that training. Here is her report card:

Both girls are using a study prayer, written by Fr. Seraphim at the request of Ann Marie to guide them in their education.

Roo in the Box; Petro Crisis in Sierra Leone

Two new videos are up on our youtube channel: www.youtube.com/SaloneNHA. More are on their way. Please check them out to see our latest work in Sierra Leone.

In one video up on youtube “Roo in the box” we had a large box filled to the brim with hospital medical supplies. Once emptied, Roo found a built-in, all-in-one portable amusement park. As with most children at Christmas time, the box, instead of the toy inside the Christmas gift, provides a great deal of enjoyment.

We have fallen in love with little Roo, his bright eyes and sweet smile. I thought it would be great for you to hear his sweet little laugh as he tumbles in the box. see it on our youtube channel.

We will be adding more videos, including a series on Kroo Bay (The Kroo Bay Part 1 video in which we are collecting, sorting and distributing hospital supplies is already up on youtube – you will see all the medical supplies we’ve collected and shipped to Sierra Leone for distribution. In most cases, you would never see this much supply in an area hospital or clinic).

In communication with James in Freetown this morning, I learned of a gas crisis in Freetown. James said the government is trying to get it resolved, however, most gas station owners are closing down, with no fuel, etc. Few or no taxies or poda podas are running. James informed me that Lucy and Ann Marie had to walk to school rather than take the taxi as usual. (a taxi ride in Freetown is normally the cheapest form of transportation, costing only a few cents across town). The walk to school for these girls is a rather long one. James will be sending a detailed report soon.

Both girls, Lucy and Ann Marie, are doing excellent in their new schools and I will post their report cards on the blog later this week. Nazareth House is proud of these two young ladies…BIG TIME!

NHA Columbia, South Carolina

Nazareth House, Columbia SC, headed up by Fr. Paul Sterne is made up of several individuals and organizations. Our Columbia, SC chapter is very active. This is accounted for by the diverse groups and individuals that carry NHA out into their lives..in their work places, school, churches, etc.

Nazareth House, Columbia is based at the University of South Carolina through St. Theodore’s Anglican Chapel. Fr. Sterne, a college chaplain, runs a campus ministry out of St. Theodore’s which is located right on campus.

St. Theodore’s sponsored a “Taste of Africa” Night. I fixed a typical dish from Sierra Leone, groundnut soup. This consists of onion, red palm oil, meat, ground peanut paste (groundnuts), diced vegetables, etc. It is served over rice. We also had friend plantain, and fresh pineapple. People of all ages attended and learned about Sierra Leone and the work of Nazareth House in that country.

Fr. Sterne has been on a NHA mission to Sierra Leone in 2002.


>

The Freetown Fridge. This cooler holds soft drinks, bottled water – proceeds from the “purchase” of the drinks go to aid the poor in Sierra Leone through NHA.

Nulie MaCarthy (originally from Sierra Leone) speaks from St. Theodore’s Chapel at “Taste of Africa” Night to James Mansaray in Freetown, Sierra Leone on the phone.

The Anglican Church Women of The Church of Epiphany in Columbia, SC are also a part of NHA and have been helping to benefit those suffering in Sierra Leone for several years, now.

Fr. Seraphim and I met with other members of NHA, Columbia at the home of Ashley Landess to discuss the work of NHA.
Fr. Seraphim speaks with Tom Landess about the work.

Fr. Seraphim with Ashley Landess. Faithful supporters, the Landess family have been very instrumental in spreading the word about the needs in Sierra Leone and the benefits of working with Nazareth House Apostolate.
