WELCOME TO MOLLIE'S MISSION
For many years it has been one
of Stephen’s ambitions to drive down Africa. At last he is
able to see this fulfilled. He has spent his working life,
initially with BT, then in security as MD of his own
company. However he is able to ‘turn his hand’ to most
things and has undertaken the plumbing, electrical and
mechanical works to do with the trip.
Hester, now a retired medic, is looking forward to going
with him and will be responsible for the food, health and
communication during the trip.
We aim to set off on 7 July and en route plan to visit
several mission stations and offer whatever
practical/medical help we can in the time we have, hence,
our mission.
We are funding the trip ourselves, but thought it would be
a great opportunity to raise money for several children’s
projects we support:-
F.A.M.E., orphanage, Kenya - http://www.fame.uk.net
Ballkajoni, orphan feeding centre, Malawi
Kedesh, boys home, Mozambique - http://www.kedeshmozambique.com
Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund SA - http://www.mandela-children.org.uk
Time is passing quickly! After all the
talking we are now in the midst of applying for visas and
having vaccinations.
The route will take Stephen and Hester through 13 African
countries. Here is the planned route to get Mollie from
Castledawson through Africa.
Ferry crossings have been booked (apart from Egypt to
Sudan) and the route sorted as far as is possible!
1. Dublin - Holyhead, 7th July
2. Dover - Calais, 8th July
3. Palermo - Tunis, 22nd July - after this it gets
harder to predict!
