Celebrating life!

On Saturday the 4th of July, 2009 we had the opportunity of celebrating the birthday of Auntie Kay Braby in our Novitiate community.
It was all in all a blessing to celebrate the life of an elderly woman who has dedicated a year of her life to Africa & Ghana [Tamale] to work as a volunteer at the age of 80. Auntie Kay is a Canadian retired Social Worker and she has decided to come to Ghana to help and live with the orphans and vulnerable children at Anfaani’s Children homes.
On that day we also celebrated belatedly the birthday of the Novice director who is now half of Kay’s age. It was incredible day of questions for Novices as we felt challenged and at the same time enthused by her story. In the prayer session we listened to Michael Jackson’s “Heal the World” which calls all of us to make the world a better place for you and for me.
It was a pleasure and a blessing to have her stay with us again recently for three days. For all of us it was an inspiring experience.
