At Carey Baptist today, our ‘after dinner mints’ (regular guest speaker spot after Tuesday lunch) guest was Mark Grantham, accompanied by his Dad, Chris, and another lady (whose name escapes me).
Mark, despite his cerebral palsy induced disability, has done very well with what he has. He advocates internationally on behalf of disabled persons, and sells [...]
So I should probably post about my recent trip to India.
I could give a ‘what we got up to’ report of the work our team did (some still over – some still yet to go) on the new Freeset T-shirts building. But we didn’t only go as labourers – we went to observe as well. [...]

In addition to ‘normal’ things happening…
