Thanks to
everyone who continue to support our sister parish and I am pleased to report the
recent Crazy Whist night continued the tradition of being a great social event,
and also raised $357.
We all enjoyed a supper break during which Fr Franks email was read out, indicating the enormous benefits to the local community made possible by virtue of your generous support. His advice is provided below.

We also received
some very welcome news from Dyson Ntapara, a St Kizito parishioner who has been
a regular correspondent over the years, which I can share with you here. I met
Dyson and his wife and Alick when I was in Malawi.
Dear Lindsay,
I hope you are fine and the family is fine too.
I want to give you some good news from our family, our first born son
Alick who is in seminary school, his ordination is on the 5th July 2004.
We are busy working out preparations for the big day and his first mass at our home village and his mass at St Kizito.
With prayers we are hopeful he will make it to this day he will be a shepherd in the vineyard. We are fine and St Kizito is doing fine too with Father Taylor busy always developing the parish and looking after the needy.

Dear Lindsay and Malawi Support Group.It is a joy to write to you in this blessed time of
lent remembering you all for your great generosity for the poor in Malawi.
Sorry for the delay in writing as it has been a
struggle for me with the home tragedy and Fr paddy being unable to return as
his eyesight is such that he cannot read now ; macular degeneration in the eye.
Glad to report the $A6, 000 generated KW 2,119,482,
to provide funds for the following:
· Assist 32 day
pupils at secondary level over 2 terms at a cost of KW 252,000.
· Third level students with
grants of KW455,400
· Fund 8 student orphans
where they learn for fees and the feeding program at a cost KW350,000.
· Build a wall
around our new Nursery School where we have 130 children under 6 years of age
at cost of KW450,000.
The total Expenditure amounts to KW1,507,400 to
leave a balance of KW612,082 which will be used to pay fees and support the
orphans programme up until end of the school year in July. It is difficult to explain the difference all this
has made for every student, family and community, it really does change lives.
Often I get the thanks but it is you who are the good Samaritans.
Thanks you for all your support.
Thanks you for all your support.
With GODS blessings to you all.
Kindest Regards Fr Frank
