Barrhead Church Kibera Project Issue 15 August 2012 Our Mission Statement: “The aim of this partnership is to establish a relationship between the Christian communities of and Kibera by sharing Mission, Education, and Mutual Friendship.”

On Saturday 9th June, the volunteers arrived at Bourock Parish Church, ready and willing to inflate around 1800 balloons, attaching the tickets that local people had so generously purchased.

Cream Teas were served throughout the afternoon at Parish Church.

After receiving the ‘ok’ from Air Traffic Control at

Glasgow Airport, the balloons were released. 98 were found and returned, and the lucky winners notified.

The profit stands at £2219 – a HUGE thank you to everyone who helped in any way with this

event. The photo on the right shows Naomi and some members of staff labelling the newly acquired text books.

The photographs show the latest progress of the construction of the toi let block and Conference Centre at Silanga.

Here are the students who would not be receiving an education if it wasn’t

for the support of people in Barrhead.
