Day 8
Written by Trish White
Today we split up and either went to visit some local bee keepers, or visit Emmanuel (a now grown up sponsored child) or to the medical centre to view the children’s aids clinic. The Bee Keeping was interesting because we got to see the worker bees and we saw Bee Man (a man in a bee keeping suit). We also got to taste sugar cane on the way back which was amazing to taste! Some people went to Emmanuel’s house now and then to his old home and village which he lived when he was still a sponsored child. The medical team all went to the medical centre and saw all the children with aids.
Then we all went to the hotel and got changed for the thanksgiving for Ron’s life.
It was all very emotional for everyone and there were lots of tears. The speeches were all amazing and really hit home about how much Ron has done for Global care. The service went a bit over by 1 hr but it needed to otherwise not as many people would have been able to say how much Ron had meant to everyone and the effect he had on most people. I just want everyone to know that he was probably the most amazing man I’ve ever known.

Hi Trish and the rest,
Thanks for all the messages. Blogs are great for this sort of thing aren't they.
I've been away from 27/10 -29/10 so only just caught up with all the info.
Seems to me you are having a great time but it is a steep learning curve for everyone.
I've been to the New Forest for a few days with 2 American friends. We've had brilliant sunshine all the time so it was wonderful to walk, if somewhat cold at times. We went over to the Isle of Wight for a day. The Solent was like a mill-pond - gorgeous. Back late last night so having a catch up day today, including loads of e-mails.
Praying for you all.
love from
Lily
