Teacher workshops - empowering Liberia

Today we delivered our messages to 400 teachers in our workshops. All day long they smiled, learned, participated, danced and shared their experiences.

Together we wove their passion for children into their dreams. We shared stories of children and how to listen well and encourage their learning journey. 

Becky School

Becky school, we are here! You have already captured our hearts.

I brought the beautiful gifts and cards from my family, my friends and my Brimrod Primary School children and families. I want to say thank you to all of you. So did the other coaches, the 'hall' was full, just like our African hearts.

We were gifted a beautiful handmade Liberian shirt or blouse from the school. 

Africa you have my heart

Bringing water to the village

In our first village delivering clean water. The tribe danced and sang when they saw how the filter cleaned their well water. Now they don't have to boil it . The children were squealing. With joy because they can drink cold water . 

Ready steady go!

Day two with some fantastic young women

Today we visited children aged 6-12 who have been taken in to prevent their working on the streets selling their bodies. Can you imagine? I led a team and we had a class of 18 girls to talk to about their dreams.
This is Mirian playing while she talked about love and hope . We sang and danced and told them they were smart and beautiful. 

The picture below is the dreadful shanty town where they live by the beach. A tropical photo with a tumbling down infested and corrupted in stark contrast. My heart is bursting with hope for their dreams. 

I am humbled by their beautiful smiles and their hope for the future and we can really help . Please donate xxxx

Day one in Africa

We arrived after a long flight, the whole journey I spent thinking about the weeks ahead. This has been a daunting yet rewarding process already.

I've been taking time to get to know the rest of the group, if we are to succeed in our mission this is the most important thing. Already we are gelling as a group and we are ready to take on this mission. 

Tomorrow we head out into Africa to begin our work. My internet access will become more and more limited, but I will keep you up to date whenever I can.
