Building, donation and books


We are excited to report that the repair work is progressing well. Gavin Williams and his team have reconstructed the outer wall of the schoolroom, put in two of the three needed lintels and have begun the reroofing, already having put several sheets. Major work on the arch of one of the church windows adjoining the schoolroom needs to be completed before the final lintel and roofing can be installed.
We would like to extend our thanks to the St Mary's Anglican Church on Ascension Island who presented Jean March (above) with a cheque of ₤500, from a special offering taken in one of their services.
We have today received the 500 copies of our long-awaited book on the birth of our little church on St Helena island. This book will be sold at ₤8 per copy, with all the profits going to the restoration fund. We would like to thank once again the Bank of St Helena for their generous funding which made the printing of this book possible.
