Lent Lunches 2012
Lent Lunches this year will continue to raise funds for the Ghana Sponsorship Programme, lead by Father Sosthene Palm, a priest working in and around the city of Tamale in Ghana. Funds raised in the UK are accounted for in London by the Society of Missionaries of Africa, a registered charity. They are transferred to Ghana and are used to provide learning opportunities across a range of skills which can transform the lives of young people in Africa.
The scheme has helped pay for Junior Secondary School fees for children as young as 13 years old. Others have received help with fees to complete a university or vocational course leading to a career or work. The programme aims to support the needs of vulnerable young people by assisting them in completing their primary or basic secondary school education or going to college.
The vicar is hoping Father Sosthene will be able to visit England in the summer of 2012. If he comes he will be able to tell us more about the programme.
