Niger Wives

Hi we are both being stretched in trying to be wise and drawing on wise principles to make decisions.
Throughout our time we have been concerned with how sustainable the organisation is that we work for. We are trying to discuss this with the management and want our thoughts to be heard and considered. Whilst we recognise that we are not development workers, we think that there are some important questions that the organisation need to consider, so that in the future it can continue to move towards providing the best care for the residents that it can.

We have just been to Church this morning, and the preacher was talking and praying about the plans of the devil. The devil and evil gets mentioned much more often here. It seems sometimes that people are either considered good and of God or Evil and of the Devil. Maybe this makes it harder for Christians to own and recognise their sins.
I am sure that this is oversimplified but sometimes I think, that people think;

Yesteday we went to a Niger wives fundraising event in Enugu. Niger wives are expat wives of Nigerians. There are 20 members in its Enugu brach. We enjoyed superb continental food!!! Andy wished that he could try one of the dishes each day until we are due to return home.
Twenty years ago they had 80 members, so there are now less expats in Nigeira which is interesting. I enjoyed talking to a person who manages a school for disabled children in Enugu.
Hope you are all well, I guess it must be getting cold back in the UK, its getting warmer here as the rainy season is coming to an end!!

Will be back to share mince pies and a glass of sherry!!!

For numerous reasons and with some sadness we have decided to come back earlier than originally planned. We will be back some time just before Christmas.
