Update

Just a quick update about our week. Since our trip to Dublin I worked with a youth group that was thinking about bullying in their own communities and coming up with ideas on how to support other youth. This I have noticed is a major issue in Northern Ireland because people are being pullied and over extended abuse many are committing suicide because of this. Even mean texting is a problem here. Niki worked with a church group looking at Celtic spirituality. This past week I have been on resource updating the Corrymeela website (check out the photo gallery and bookings section), making a comprehensive list of available dates at Corrymeela up to Jun 30th and doing an analysis of the cottages for three fiscal years to give an estimate of how much income Corrymeela will lose moving volunteers into the cottages next year while Coventry is being rebuilt. Niki was on housekeeping and during the evenings she spent some time painting an encouragement tree in Coventry similar to the tree at Camp Valaqua. This weekend we are both on resource and Niki is present for a couple of day groups. Next week we are off to Edinburgh for a few nights holiday to celebrate my birthday. Today is a significant day for Northern Ireland and if you would like to find out more about the current events start by checking the BBC news online. www.bbc.co.uk
