Trustees report for Kay’s Farm Fellowship 2022
It has been a good year overall. We have been able to send enough finance out to keep all the homes running and provide for all the children’s needs in all of our works in India, Nepal, Thailand, Burma and Kenya.
Visits were made to Thailand and Nepal with plans to visit the other places in 2023.
At present we are unable to visit Burma because of the coup that happened there and the unrest we deemed it safer to stay away so brought Ginzi, the girl who heads up the work, into Thailand for one week to let her come away from the pressure she has been under keeping the work going under difficult circumstances and also to be able to sit down with her talk things through with her. She has done a brilliant job all through the political unrest there and many people in the surrounding area have been arrested, tortured and killed so it has not been easy at all.
In Nepal it was the first time for three years that we have been able to go due to Corona lockdown as Nepal still had strict guidelines in place. There are not many children there now as the government has been trying to shut down all Christian works, some children had to go back to their villages and for those with no parents homes with relatives had to be found. Those children are still being supported with all that is needed for school, ie, school fees, uniforms, bags, books, pens, pencils and scientific supplies plus when they come for their school fees they are sent back with rice, cooking oil and other essentials. We were also able to visit some of the young people who were in the homes when first the work started, most are now married and have families of their own and it is a joy to see how well they are doing. On the way back home we stopped in Dubai for a few nights to meet up with four boys from the Nepal home, they were the first boys to come into our home. They are all married with families of their own back in Nepal but the boys live and work in Dubai so that they can earn enough to pay for the schooling of their children and it enables them to be able to build a decent home for them. The down side for them is that they can only get back to Nepal once a year for four weeks. We were able to spend quality time with them and go to their church on the Sunday where Mervyn France was able to preach at their service.
Overall we are happy with how things are going and planned visits for 2023 are India, Kenya, Nepal at the beginning of the year and India towards the end of the year plus another visit to the school in Kenya in the middle of the year and hopefully the building work will be completed on the new school buildings so that they can officially be opened.
We look forward to another year of blessing and are very thankful to all who have given freely to keep the work running.
