An answer to prayer

Those who regularly follow this blog would remember an entry where I wrote a letter to the leadership of the Seventh Day Adventist church, for help in communicating the importance of environmental cleanliness to the  700 000 strong members of the church in Ghana. While I never received any acknowledgement of my letter having reached the right department, EduAfrique was thrilled to read a weeks worth of lessons on protecting the environment in the church's daily study guides (lesson 10, March 2-8, 'Stewardship and the Environment') in this year's study guide. The discussions generated around these lessons included not littering and refraining from polluting the environment (including proper disposal of faecal matter). The small church that I attend at Asenua (Kumasi) also joined another church in the area for a cleanup day at a nearby hospital. EduAfrique provided a few t'shirts with messages reinforcing environmental cleanliness on the day.
