Umtata 2009

Bishop Robert has raised the possibility of taking 6 18-25 year olds along with one or two other clergy members with him on a trip to the Diocese of Umtata in the summer of 2009.

Many of the details are still uncertain but there is to be a meeting early in July with +Robert and +Sitembele of Umtata to discuss the trip and what we will be doing. I think the meeting is in the evening but I will confirm time and place to those interested when I hear for sure.

Please note that those who are going would be involved in a fundraising effort for the trip, and this may take up a fair amount of time throughout the year. My guess is that we would also have to give a presentation(s)/report(s) of the trip on our return so it is a commitment beyond the actual trip if that makes sense...

Interested: Get in touch with Mary at abdnyouth@gmail.com. Do also pass this info on to anyone else who might be interested, but please remember everyone should be within the 18-25 age group in the summer of 2009 and also have a link with the Diocese or congregations within it.
