Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. ‘The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself. ‘There is no other commandment greater than these.” (Mark 12:29-31 ESV)
Introduction
We are grateful to the Lord for his mercies upon our lives and that of our neighbors. As we strive to love the Lord with all our hearts and with all our souls and with all our minds, it is our prayer that he will grant us the grace to do it well and to love our neighbors as ourselves.
Monitoring Visit to Kpachani
We paid a visit to the Kpachani Community to see how they are faring and also check on the Water Catchment systems to see its performance. The community as always were very lively. Most of the people had gone to work on their farms as we are in the farming season of Northern Ghana. This year the rains have delayed and the few that the community was fortunate to be blessed with was not that much for the catchment systems to harvest much water. One of them had collected a little and we are very hopeful that both systems will fill up to capacity in the following months.
The love that has been extended to the community by U4A has brought them a blessing as the community has been selected for the construction of a six unit classroom block to be constructed for them. As at the time of our visit some preparatory work had been done and the construction work is set to commence soon.
