On the 4th of April, Darren Duncan and Jacqui Leo undertook a sponsored walk-the-island to raise funds for our ongoing efforts. They started at 6.30 am at the Baptist Chapel in town and finished after 5 pm, covering nearly 60 kms of the island. This is no small feat, given the extreme ascents and descents. Darren and Jacqui only decided a week before the event to do it, and within one week had managed to raise an enormous amount of sponsorship. The total takings was ₤697.22, with some sponsorship even coming in from Ascension Island. They had t-shirts printed especially for the day by Simon Henry.
Progress at the end of April is as you see below: the roof is now complete on the schoolroom but there remain further jobs on the interior of the schoolroom before we will be able to recommence our services inside. We are planning to install some spacious toilets and change-room facilities as well as a kitchenette.
We have received much support from individuals on the Falkland Islands - those who are attached to our church and those who are not. Without mentioning any names, the latest large donation by an individual was ₤400. We would also like to acknowledge the money that the Rock club raised, from their parade last year. They have contributed a further ₤300 to the fundraising efforts. Our heartfelt thanks to all of those who continue to support us, as well as to our Heavenly Father for his abundant blessing.
