KAYS FARM FELLOWSHIP
REGISTERED CHARITY NO. 1040813
TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
2023 was quite a busy year. Mary France visited to work in India and reported that all was going well. The children are doing well with their schooling and the college children are also doing well in their various studies.
Mervyn and Lucy France visited Kenya in January and bought all the children their new school uniform which is quite an undertaking as there is now 80 children in the school.
February saw Mervyn and Lucy go to Nepal, here the work in Chitawan, Nepal is winding down due to the government policy of closing Christian schools and homes and putting many more rules and regulations in place which really make no sense at all.
On their way home they called in Dubai where four young men work there. These boys were the first into the home many years ago and keep in touch with us.
Mervyn went to Kenya again in September spending time at our school and then speaking in a pastors’ conference and a few diMerent churches.
Thailand was also visited and by Mervyn and Lucy, here we are now helping with the cost of education for four young people who were originally looked after by Patti before she died. They are now being looked after by Bill & Susie Antolec.
We are very thankful that the support for the works that we run has been suMicient to meet all the day-to-day needs plus building a new classroom block in Kenya and any repairs that are necessary in all the countries that we work in. All in all, it has been a good year for which we are doubly thankful.
Mervyn France
Chairman of the Trustees
