A Very Difficult Time
Tuesday, 20 July 2010 17:13

This last week or so has been a very difficult time for us, sadly our Director Mrs Maxine Shipway fell very ill and had to be rushed to hospital in Delhi. She has been in Intensive Care for over 10 days now and though she is improving she still has a way to go. A massive infection in her body is the cause of the problem and the doctors have been doing everything they can to treat it.

As if that was not enough our new car that we purchased late last year was stolen while one of our staff members was in Delhi with Maxine. In the car was some passports, a laptop and a reasonable amount of money/valuables. Our insurance should cover the cost of the car eventually (it could take 4-12 months to get back) and applications are being made for the mission passports, but the laptop and valuables are gone.

In a seemingly endless supply of 'problems' one of our other staff members was involved in a head on collision with a truck when his taxi driver fell asleep at the wheel -thankfully no one was hurt... and to top it all off we have been having non-stop rain for over 30 hours and now our campus is flooded!

Rest assured we are not letting any of this get to us. We believe that difficulties shape and strengthen you and that all challenges can be overcome in time! Thank you to all who have supported us through this difficult time.
