Update, July `09

Prayer Centre

We are excited to announce the launch of our prayer room during June 2009. This operates as a place for intercession and prayer every afternoon, with attached retreat areas for staff and a counselling room. The prayer room is open for staff as well as external volunteers to drop in and join our daily intercession sessions, or to pray individually. We have seen that prayer makes such a difference to our effectiveness, and for us, it is a priority as we are engaged in front-line work.



‘Caring for Myself’ workshops


We have a team with us from Canada at the moment, and they are working hard running workshops for our clients on topics including: domestic violence prevention, how to choose a good mate, budgeting, drugs education and dance classes. They have also been running hair cutting classes for girls who are still working in the brothels in order to help them realise the possibilities of changing their lives. They are doing an amazing job, and we are enjoying having them.
