Sixteen years ago five of us from St Paul’s Parish made a trip to Haiti under the auspices of Beyond Borders to learn about the culture of and conditions in that country. Shortly thereafter Partners with Haiti was organized to promote development in the parish of St Isidore on the island of LaGonave. In the intervening years the members of PWH made significant contributions to the well-being of the people of LaGonave. Tonight they are being honored as Ministry of the Year at Celebrate St Paul’s. We are with them in spirit and pray that they may continue to share their love and resources to bring about positive change in this corner of the world.
Queen Mary 2’s arrival in the Port of Dakar, Senegal was heralded in the local press and greeted with ceremony. Our own excursion took us on a coach journey through the streets of the capital city to visit a Wolof village and the shore of Lake Retba, the salty lake famed for an intense pink color.
Today’s safari adventure transported us out into the Dorob National Park to have up close encounters with little creatures that are well adapted to the extreme heat and lack of water in the Namib Desert.
With a UNESCO World Heritage Site, two national parks, dozens of museums, and hundreds of tours offered in the Cape Town area there is more than plenty to do. For our two day visit we opted to concentrate on African wildlife visiting the Aquila Private Game Reserve and the Boulders Beach Penguin Colony for a wonderful chance to these fabulous animals in their own habitat.
