Patsy writes: “Happy Thanksgiving! We are grateful for the laying of the cornerstone for the women’s center!”
Ground had been broken earlier this month:
The Women’s Center will provide for:
- Women’s training in living the Christian life, Bible study, prayer, health education, teaching on subjects such as raising a family, contraception, hygiene etc.
- Cottage industries:
- craft items to sell via Fair Trade, local tourist shops and churches in USA, Mauritius and UK.
- making of sanitary pads so that girls will not miss days at school, as currently happens
- External kitchen, with water supply and cooking area
- Internal space for refrigerator and freezer
- Dining space during Diocesan conferences
