Did you know that we host an amazing adult literacy and IT skills project on our property in the evenings each week? The WMC Right to Write project has been in existence since the late 1990’s and this last week the project held its end of year prize-giving – a chance to thank all the volunteer teachers and to celebrate with the determined group of men and women who make their way to the church several times a week (after a long day at work) to improve their English, or their IT skills.
The little function was held in the Supper Room and I sat in the back row with Samson (who led us in prayer at the start of the evening). I was reminded again of the gift that Samson is to WMC – quietly and gently serving and forging friendships within the wider community. It was also great to see Zimele Shezi (Samson’s nephew who helps us at WMC with security) being recognised for his IT achievements this year.
Someone else in our church who has had a long association with the project is Helen Rodger – Helen was chief graduation photographer for the evening :) If you are interested in getting involved in this wonderfully hopeful enterprise, Helen would be a good person to speak to. After two quiet Covid years, the project is looking to grow the size of the student body – so please pass on details to anyone who might be interested.
