'We have a project here called  the 'Traditional Apprenticeship Programme.'  Whatever you think of the name it is a first rate  programme that trains small groups in a variety of skills - welding, carpentry, sewing, shoe  making, hair saloons etc - and is working really well. What the programme constantly needs  are start-up funds just to get them going. I have confidence in the coordinator of the programme, Aaron Mareya, and he often asks me for relatively small amounts to get a group or an individual started.  I so appreciate your efforts and those of the parish. It makes a huge difference here.  I am turning away people at the moment as I am dry and they stare at me in blank despair!! '

The J&P Group are supporting Fr. David with his request.

A £500 donation has already been made to the Jesuit Missions, on behalf of the parish,
for the Traditional Apprenticeship Programme.
