Londua 60 year Anniversary




We had a Londua council meeting in Santo on Saturday. Most reps were there and it was an 8 till 6-30 sesion. There was excitment in the discussion about the Annual Conference being held at Londua this year from the 16th till the 22nd of May and the Londua 60 year celebration day being held on Wednesday the 19th. Every one who has had an involvment with Londua have been invited to come and bring a gift for Londua. For anybody overseas thinking of going to this very auspicious occasion you will need to get organised for flights and accomodation. There are potentially 4 work teams heading to Londua this year and some space for a few people if you want to come along. Londua is in need of corrugated iron for some rooves if anyone has some laying around.















Rain, Rain, Rain!!

Rain, rain,rain!!! After some delays for a cyclone we made it to Londua and it was very good to see 133 students on campus. The singing from the students is awesome and Chaplain Valarie asked Joanne, who accompanied us to Londua this trip to take most of the devotions with the students and also the CWF meeting down the road. Because of the rain some of the students had malaria but otherwise the general health at Londua was fine. Praise God that there are 3 paid Government teachers at Londua this year. This helps with the running of the college and the new staff are well qualified. There was a need for some new bread tins and a project was created for the Mechanics students. After a theory class and a bit of demonstrating you can see the new bread tins being out to good use. Orders have come in from the community and we are waiting for new flat iron. The oven is being put to good use as you can see. The First Aid kit was restocked and the medical incidents are being kept up to date. The ground water tank near the chapel was full to the top with clean water and also the tank at the Gap house. The Construction workshop and class room rooves leak in the rain so this is a priority to get replaced to free up some class rooms. 133 students, 58 vocational and 75 academic year 9 and 10.
