fACE 2 fAcE...fAiTh 2 fAiTh...hEre I gO...

Soon, me and Emma will be going to the USA to participate in an inter-faith program called "Faith to Faith, Face to Face"... click here to find out more about it.
The program operates in four regions around the world, Belfast (Northern Ireland), Cape Town (South Africa), Jerusalem and the United States of America. 

Emma is the leader of the Northern Ireland region and this is one of her jobs with the Corrymeela community that she's part of... so, this will not be new for her, but for me it will be the first time, both in this program and in the USA...
I'm really excited and looking forward to all the experiences that will await us at this time...

hApPy hApPy dAy !!!!


Just a couple of days after finishing our strawbale building workshop we had lots of friends and family for a "baby party"... (go to MoO blog to see how the course went... it was great!!!)

This was definitely a happy day… a celebration day for many reasons…
My twin nephews, Nelson and Joshua, 
turned 3, and we also celebrated Nolan’s 2nd birthday that would be later this month…

We also had baby Diogo with us, only a few months old, son of Pedro and Lisanne, my sister’s best friend…
And Kiara, Lua’s daughter was also with us…

A party with and for children… I think we all became a bit like children, except for the alcohol consumption, but hey, it was a party !!!
Another big reason for celebrating was that my mum came from Angola…
