Ainess - our new social welfare trainee

One of the exciting developments over the recent months has been the opportunity to invest in people and their training. As part of our ongoing committment to seeing Tanzanian people in charge and responsible for the work at MCCC we have been given a huge boost by the Maxwell Scholarship Fund. Owing to generous funding through this charitable trust we have been able to offer a scholarship programme to one student per year who is a graduate of the Training For Life Programme run at Berea Bible College. The student who will benefit will work at the children's centre for one year, then be sent for training in a diploma course in social welfare, before joining us for a final year of service. We are excited about the opportunities this will create to have Tanzanian Christians in place for the care and compassionate ministry of social care among their own people. Ainess will be our first trainee and she bagan her course in October 2007 after working with us since July last year.

And the ongoing planting and finishing of the playing field...

The New Hampden at MCCC

As part of our ongoing vision for the development of the Christian Outdoor Centre planned for MCCC we have been able to initiate the levelling and planting of our new playing field. Wow! We are so pleased about this - suspect the Scotland team may be interested in training here over the winter months! Seriously, the new sports field is coming along nicely - see pics for more details:

Apologies - we've been off line for a bit...

For all our esteemed supporters, our sincere apologies for the silence on our blog. We have been up to all sorts of enjoyable things, like DIY at our home in Glasgow, visiting with our grandaughter Miriam, and hanging out with our friends and family at Greenview Evangelical Church.

Here's a couple of pics to prove it!
