The most embarassing day of my life

So here I am - at the NETS graduation. What an exciting day for everyone. Simon has been working hard to make it all run well. He and I arrive early. there is lots to be done. but you will never guess what happens before the big moment arrives... I am getting ahead of myself.





NETS has 2 groups of graduates, one from the residential course and one from the distance courses. On the Left are the Diploma and degree student from the residential program. On the right is the CMS bursar Risto Haipinge.




Here is the whole group along with the lecturers - it was a great celebration, with lots of smiling faces. But do you want to know what I was doing during the whole service...




Simon, in all the busyness, forgot his belt. So instead of pride of place to watch the show...this is where I spent the day - oh how embarrassing. Well at least I got to be useful in Africa???? I wonder where I will be off to next.

Claire - this idea is too good! I'm loving reading all about the adventures of these shoelaces. I can't wait to follow them to their next destination. Hope you're going well too! Jo xx
