Prepartions

As we await the arrival of the new set of novices on the 30th of January the Formation Team has been busy with meetings planning the new year. We have met a couple of times already and a few more are in the offing.
Tomorrow we begin three days of Team building with Fr Michael Taggart and Sr Mary Anne Hoope. This will give us an oportunity to look at how we relate and work together as a Team. Our experience of working as a Team has been good but like most things we are not perfect and there are areas that we need to look at and see how we can work on them.
On the 28th Prince and Vivek will travel down to Accra to welcome the new group of Novices who are due to arrive on the 30th of January. Hopefully all will arrive on that day. The only thing certain about travelling in Africa is its uncertainty! We intend to drive up to Tamale on the 31st morning leaving Accra well before dawn to arrive Tamale in the early afternoon.
Of the 15 novices listed below you will notice that six are from Kenya, four from Zambia, three from Sierra Leone and one each from Ghana and Namibia.
Paul Mutuku Mbithi (Kenya),Constantine Sunday Otieno (Kenya), Chrispinus Munialo Okumi (Kenya), David Otieno Oyugi (Kenya), Peter Muthini Ndivo (Kenya), Nicholas Odhiambo Minandi (Kenya), Sydney Muponda (Zambia), Kashewka Brian Chipango (Zambia), Likisi Innocent Mubanga (Zambia), James Janeiro Malunga (Zambia), Cornelius Pengnyin (Ghana), Bainda John Foday (Sierra Leone), Peter Amara Kabia (Sierra Leone), Frank Jr Borbor (Sierra Leone), Jordaan Sagarias Rikambura (Namibia).
