JET OFF TOMORROW AND BACK ON SEPTEMBER


THIS IS A  VERY QUICK POST BEFORE LANDING TOMORROW FROM  HEATHROW AIRPORT ...... DESTINATION  MY DEAR COUNTRY CAMEROON.

YEAH ! IT' S BEEN  7 YEARS  OF ABSENCE FROM MY HOME / BIRTH  COUNTRY. I AM LEAVING TOMORROW AT 5 AM SO IT IS QUITE EARLY BUT THE AIRPORT IS FAAAAR AWAY FROM LONDON AND APPARENTLY THE TRAFFIC IS BAD SOOO.



MY FINANCES ARE VERY TIGHT BECAUSE OF COURSE I HAD VERY BAD SURPRISES 2 WEEKS AGO BUT I DON'T WANT TO RUIN MY HOLIDAYS FOR THAT.

 UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE I HAD TO  WAIT FOR MY VISA BECAUSE THEY WERE ASKING TOO MUCH THINGS KNOWING THAT I AM BORN THERE AND MY  PARENTS LIVE THERE. BUT IT IS DIFFICULT FOR EVERYBODY  SINCE  WHAT HAPPEN IN NIGERIA WITH BOKO HARAM. THEY ARE VERIFYING INTENSIVELY EVERYBODY.

BUT THE GOOD THING IS  THAT MY LAST WEEK AT WORK WAS FANTASTIC. IN FACT I DID NOT SPEND IT AT WORK BUT IN A FRIARY AMONG  FRANCISCAN BROTHERS.
 I WAS THERE BECAUSE I NEED TO BE WITH  A STUDENT DURING HIS WORK EXPERIENCE.

HERE IN THE UK,  STUDENTS  AT 15 MUST COMPLETED  A WORK EXPERIENCE SORT LIKE A ONE OR TWO WEEKS JOB JUST FOR THE STUDENT TO HAVE AN IDEA OF  HOW THE EMPLOYMENT ENVIRONMENT IS.
SO THE STUDENT WAS PLACED IN THIS FRIARY BECAUSE HE HAS LEARNING DIFFICULTIES AND THE TASK THAT HE WOULD HAVE GIVEN WERE VERY SIMPLE.


IT WAS SUCH A NICE QUIET PLACE. SOME OF THE RESIDENTS ARE HOMELESS FAMILIES (3)  OR JUST SINGLES PEOPLE ( 12).

THEY END UP THERE BECAUSE SOCIAL SERVICES  HAVEN'T ENOUGH PLACES TO ACCOMMODATE THEM. SOME PEOPLE  JUST PASS BY BECAUSE THEY ARE ISOLATED AND WANT TO TALK OR HELP WITH THEIR BENEFIT  APPLICATIONS AND SOME JUST COME FOR FRUITS AND SANDWICHES.

THE FOOD IS SUPPLIED BY NEIGHBOURS SUPERMARKET. IT MADE MOSTLY OF THE LEFTOVER SELLS OF THE DAY.

I HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO INTERACT WITH EVERYBODY AND MORE IMPORTANT TO PRAY WITH THE BROTHERS EVERY 12 PM. THE STUDENTS AND MYSELF  REALLY ENJOYED IT AND I WAS ASK TO VOLUNTEER. SO I WILL DEFINITIVELY PLAN SOMETHING AFTER MY HOLIDAY.

 BUT NOW I AM GOING TO ENJOY AND RELAX WITH MY FAMILY FOR ONE MONTH SO DON'T EXPECT ME TO POST BEFORE SEPTEMBER.

SOOO CIAO, BYE BYE AND AU REVOIR. LOL
