Kathy’s Article for April Parish News

I have been racking my brains to think of a subject today. Nothing exciting or different has happened this week. Then I thought in more detail.
 
On Sunday we got together for a Frugal Meal in support of Christian Aid; we had an excellent speaker who told us how families in Nairobi are helped to make a garden in the most unlikely places and then to grow vegetables to feed their families and sell any excess.
These areas of Nairobi have no sanitation or electricity, it made me realise how fortunate we are to have our home comforts. Yet the lady in the film said how happy she was to be able to grow food for her family and be able to earn money to pay for healthcare and education.
Christian Aid with a partner charity provided the means for this project.
 
On Monday, again in the Parish Centre, we enjoyed an exercise class, which is great fun and brings smiles to our faces. Wednesday was Link Up in the village hall, always a joyful sociable event. Then on Thursday it was back to the village hall for yoga!
 
So quite a lot has happened really, and I thank God that I have learnt so much, had so much fun and met so many wonderful people.
 
As an ex-nurse, I became a patient on Friday and had cataract surgery. The staff were all lovely, one even held my hand during the procedure!
 
I have been overwhelmed by offers of help and kind words from so many people; Knebworth is full of kind people. So, I thank God for all he has provided for all of us.
