Its time for one of our Peacemakers UK member's to spend an extended time in Kenya!

Christine Gibbard has been the Head teacher at Ardeley St Lawrence School for the last 18 years. On the 30th June she will be resigning from this position and making herself available to oversee the building of the Resource Centre in the district of Embu and all the many projects that Peacemakers have initiated in the surrounding area, over  the past 20 years.  You will see from our web page, that the Prayer House  and the Abandoned Baby Refuge Centre structure is now completed and we need Christine's expertise and managerial skills to furnish and get the first stage of the Centre operational.

Christine has been an active and committed member of the work that this Charity has been involved with, both at home and abroad, from the beginning and knows the Kenyan people and the area very well.  She is also greatly loved and respected by the Peacemakers Kenya Team, who are looking forward to her joining them.  She will be flying to Nairobi 9th July 2009.

Christine has desired for a long time to spend more time in Africa and earlier this year spent  11 weeks in Rwanda, with other Head Teachers  going into schools and assisting the Heads and passing on their experiences.  She also wants to spend more time in Rwanda and follow up this work and friendships that were made then.

Peacemakers UK have also been invited to bring God's vision to Tanzania, which has been postponed until we have the Resource Centre up and running.  Incidentally, this Centre is going to be named ‘The Dennis Marshall Foundation’ Dennis Marshall was the founder of this work. So this is something for the future for Christine, while she is in Africa.

Christine will be non salaried while she is there for whatever length of time, so if you would like to be one of her sponsors during this period, please get in touch with me and I will arrange for donations to be transferred to her in Kenya.
