-- Grace Third World Fund
Following Rev Else's death in May, the committe of the Grace Third World Fund voted Mr Ray Richardson into the chair and Mr Richardson looks forward to building on the foundation which the Rev Else has laid for the work.
We wish to stress that the charity is very much continuing and at the recent AGM in July, a number of matters were discussed with a view to extending yet further the boundaries of the charity.
We re-iterate the desire to complete the 3rd storey on the orphanage as funds allow and to construct a new boys and girls set of toilet blocks and even plan for educational provision and construction on the Promised Land site.
Do remember the ongoing work!
