First meeting of JiM @ Oban High School

As part of H2O's campaign to raise awareness and much-needed funding for the work, the group known as JiM, short for 'Jayne in Malawi', has been formed to support the work of former OHS Librarian Jayne Powers. Jayne now lives and works in Kasungu, and plans to be part of the catalyst to build a much-needed school nearby in Dzuwa.
Pictured above are some of the members of the JiM group at our recent first meeting, proudly displaying some of the gifts for children and young people in Malawi. These were kindly given by pupils and staff from Oban High School further to assemblies focussing on Jayne's work were presented to all year-groups by Rachel and Ewen.
JiM's first task is to work out how to get these gifts to Jayne in Kasungu.
In the near future, within a fortnight, the group hope to meet with Fletcher Matandika of Joy to the World Ministries, the organisation that Jayne is working for. It is hoped that this opportunity will give the group further insight to Malawi and to just what the real needs are, and how both communities can learn from each other.
