I had to smile when you mentioned sweet singing voice... I am a genuinely appalling singer, but I loved being in Turkana as well, and yes the children had a great impact on me. It was a good group, and I loved being with our tour guides (Eden, Simon, John and Gabriel).

The impact of being in Kenya,  continues to work through me, in fact as we approach a 1 year anniversary  it amazes me still, and I will write something for my blog.

I see that you have now retired to a new meeting in the city of Melbourne, I can imagine after a while at Stillwater, that is a new challenge.

Join the club in being actively in prayer and contemplation in the inner-city. With Blessings 

I love your profile. . . and wish you much peace and contentment on the journey in your retirement.

Hi Helen, even if you could come for a day trip that would be great and we could see if other Friends were available to have a shared lunch with us. We have low attendance at meeting as many have moved out of town over the last few years but those who come I am sure would like to join with us if possible. If it is to hard for you to get all this way we are happy to come and meet you say, in Mundaring, as there are some nice spots to have lunch there.
If you want to write and offline email to me you can contact me through my web page which is www.shanemoad.com

Hi Helen, we would love to catch up with you when you get to Perth. The only problem is we don't have a spare room to put you up in as both our children are home. There is the local hotel that David Eley stayed in when he was here and said he quite enjoyed it and the price was very reasonable. Let me know what you were considering and we will look into more for you.

Helen, I met to say in my last post, if you want to contact me off Quaker Quaker it is possible through my web page that can be found on my page on this site. There is a "contact" link on there, feel free to contact when you feel like it........Shane

Greetings Helen, I am glad you were able to finely track me down. It would be good to catch up if possible when you visit, we should keep in contact.

An Autralian! So nice to learn there are quakers down under. I asked an Australian friend if she knew about quakers in Australia, and she never had heard about! Now I know! This means I welcome you, friendly.

Hi, Helen, we met at OYM a year or two ago. I pray all is well out your way.

Hi Helen, no, I am not David E., but he and I are good friends and we belong to the same meeting. (So that was a pretty good guess!) Michael

I do have horse traing but I my be able to get there at some stage

Thank you Helen. It would be good to see the progress. I'll take a rain check on your invitation to come and see. Please advise when a heatwave is predicted.

Re this site. It is a Ning format. I haven't checked out the tabs at the top - but a Ning format usually has an events tab which is great for inserting up-comng information. If none of the tabs have the event format, you might like to ask the site managers if they would consider adding it. The other possibility is to set up a page in the name of the Australian Quaker Centre (I have some lovely pictures to put up - but I'm sure you would have some already). I think an AQC page would also help to attract this international membership.

Blessings and bliss
