Trip to Sierra Leone

Details of Janet O’Shea’s forthcoming trip to Sierra Leone have now been finalised.

Janet will be leaving St Ives on Tuesday 24 January and arriving in Sierra Leone in the early evening of Wednesday 25 January, staying at Bethesda until Wednesday 22 February.

The trip will include three weeks of teaching the children at Mabang School, helping also to renovate and paint the school building, as done previously at Brama, adding teaching aids and a book corner to further enhance their facilities.

Catching up with the children and young people who live at Bethesda Orphanage will be an enjoyable and rewarding part of Janet's stay, as will attendance of the annual Connexion Conference, offering an opportunity to meet up with pastors and local people.

 

Janet is also very excited to be spending time at the newly opened Health Centre, which has been named the Ralph O’Shea Hospital, as a legacy to Janet’s husband and his significant contribution in supporting communities in Sierra Leone.

Finally, regular visits are planned to join Magnus and his team in sharing food and provisions with the many street children, a large number of whom are orphans or victims of poverty, struggling to survive on their own.
