    It was wonderful to see how the joy centre is tremendously growing. The journey was kawa, ofcourse kaaymers wouldn’t keep quite on their way to The only Uncle Ben and Aunt joy. The reception was one of its kind and we had good time. you cant get bored in the presence of our Uncle. His words of wisdom to the youth are un questionable, “Re-positioning your self”. After a days visit we had some colorful praise on the site and am telling you god was present. kaaymers almost danced their heads off. I really thank god for such a project.
    may god Almighty continue to provide to see the centre through.
