Social justice work in Diocese of Truro

 Good to see I PACKED THIS MYSELF featuring in the Diocese of Truro's Social Responsibility briefing this month. Thank you to Andrew Yates, vicar of Paul Church, for helping to make this happen.  Click here to read.

Meeting at Pool School, assembly at Richard Lander, then back to Camborne

An early morning meeting at Pool School with Ola Paluch (just arrived back in Cornwall after Easter in Krakow. A 33-hour trip by bus and train. She was due to fly on Saturday but her flight was cancelled because of the ash cloud). A cold morning but the palm trees look tropical. We plan a day-long workshop in May for migrant worker children in the school

Then a lunchtime assembly at Richard Lander School, Truro. Our third this week.

Ewa preparing...

And then back to Camborne to meet Andrew Yates, Social Responsibility Officer for the Diocese of Truro. He borrowed the suitcases for a workshop yesterday in Falmouth with industrial chaplains. A quick handover in the car park of the Elim Centre.

Summer term and back in Cornwall

Back in Cornwall as we have assemblies to deliver at Richard Lander School, Truro this week. Plus a meeting at Pool to discuss plans to work with migrant worker children there.

I cannot go to the assembly at Richard Lander as it coincides with the funeral of a dear Aunt (not far off - at the Crematorium in Truro.) It is a beautiful spring day.
Ewa holds the fort and does the assembly on her own. Will join her tomorrow afternoon for the next one.
Call in at Diocesan House to drop off three suitcases for Social Responsibility Officer Andrew Yates, who is doing a workshop with chaplains in Falmouth tomorrow.
And later drop in at SEF Leedstown to say hello to the English class which contributed so much to the exhibition and work at Penair School, Truro.
Try to call in at Reawla to buy milk on the way home but the shop is now closed in the evenings. This is a bitter blow. No option but to go to Lidl, Hayle.

Torrential rain and meetings at schools

A stormy week - torrential rain and meetings this week at Penair School, Truro and Pool School with teachers rolling out a Citizenship and RE agenda. All inspiringly keen to be involved. We plan exhibitions for February and March and assembly sessions. Also meet Maureen Twose of Cornwall Libraries at Redruth (where it seemed to be raining the most!) and plan a migrant worker reading list. And Andrew Yates, Social Responsibility Officer at the Diocese of Truro, which funded the first suitcase in I Packed This Myself. Andrew is a fountain of knowledge with a very full contact book. Not to mention Bridging Arts volunteer Mike Matthews.
