The RATA teachers who live in Canterbury are holding an information evening at Darfield Primary School, Ross Street on Tuesday 16 June at 7.30pm. You are really welcome to come along and hear the story of RATA and meet 3 of the teachers I will be travelling with - Christine (Darfield Primary School) Anney (Aorangi School) and Cheryl who is a former principal (Fendalton Open Air and Richmond).
Cheryl will give a talk on Educational issues facing the 21st Century learner. Anney and Christine will share about their previous trips to The Ark School. Supper will be provided - a plate is optional - but only if you have the time to get something together. Come regardless.
Drive through Darfield township and turn left at the far end of town into Ross Street - the school hall is on your right.
Some of us plan to meet at the Terrace Cafe in Darfield for dinner around 6pm. You are welcome to turn up and join us. As you drive into Darfield from Christchurch this cafe/pub is on your right. If you have the Entertainment book there's a coupon in it to get a cheap meal.

Stolen Passports
Yesterday the travel agent in Cambridge, Caraline, discovered all the Passports and Visas for the RATA teachers going to Ghana had been stolen from the agencies safe. If you are the praying sort please pray for Caraline as she tries to sort out this huge problem. These teachers leave in 17 days time.
This does not effect me, as I am not going to Ghana. However, there are teachers who are going to both Ghana and Cape Town. Our Cape Flat team needs their support to help run the two day Conference.
Three schools (with untrained teachers) in Ghana are excitedly awaiting the RATA teachers arrival...
Update - it has been reported two men were spotted running away from the Travel Agents in Cambridge last night. The passports have NOT been found, so the process of getting new Passports, and then sending them on to Canberra to get the Visas for Ghana has started tonight. These things need to happen quickly for the team to leave on time
