Our youngest – Amba Hope!

Hi all,
I know that many have been asking after Amba and her nursery situation so we just wanted to up date you. We have decided to take Amba out of nursery and re-look at things in Sept. It’s been a good move (so thanks to all who have been praying!), Amba is much happier and Isla is also thriving at nursery. We didn’t realise that Amba’s unhappiness at nursery was having such an impact on Isla. As a result, we have rejigged our work schedule, alternating the childcare, for Amba, between us. Occassional though, this means we have a new recruit for our team when we both have to attend certain meetings! We are currently waiting for an induction at EFZ (now that our work permits are through!!) so in the mean time, we are cracking on with some research of other organisations working in the field of child protection. Yesterday, this took us to UNICEF to meet with the Chief of Child Protection. I can honestly say, there won’t be many times in my working life where the business meeting is interrupted by the words ‘I NEED A POO!’ – no, in this instance, it wasn’t Hannah making that statement, but Amba at full volume!! Needless to say, despite me missing most of the meeting assisting Amba, it was a productive meet and there are more NGOs in the pipeline.
Will talk more about our work and the scope of our project once we have our job descriptions completed!
Bye for now
Love Sam and the team!

Hannah, so good to hear that matters continue to move positively both in personal and ‘business’ terms. Please continue the updates, it is all very illuminating at this end and gives us all an insight into a very different world to ours – bless you all!

Hi guys,

You are all so amazing and you are doing good. I think small children should be at every corporate meeting to lighten the tone, priceless!
