A Busy Year So Far
We seem to have worn a path between Leicester and the south coast in the last two months! Not all of our trips made it onto the diary page – but if you’ve been following us on twitter, you will have seen what we’ve been up to. For now, we’ll just concentrate on two of the things we’ve done since our last blog:
The Hand in Hand conference was great! We had a lot of good conversations, met a lot of good friends and enjoyed the variety of everything that was going on. The exhibition had been extended this year – so too many opportunities to part with money!
The Children Worldwide conference was a hit – team from all over the country converging on the lovely Dalesdown Centre. Our theme was “Something to Celebrate”. We were celebrating the 20th anniversary of Dalesdown being open for guests, but also celebrating the work we do, us as human beings and the children we work with. We had party bags filled with goodies, a party with children’s party food (The candy worms in the jelly were a particular hit!), and a speaker who could speak to the members from the heart – encouraging them and building them up.
Coming up – we’ll be in Kidderminster this weekend doing the children’s work for a church from Oxford who are having their church weekend away. We’ll then be rushing back to make sure we are in time to give a short presentation about our work to our home church on Sunday evening.
Not long after that we’ll be handing the house back to our house sitters once again, and flying out to Latvia.
