Originally the Golden Oldies Mission was comprised only those wanting to come and learn about the mission projects.
But now its become a Combo Mission.
Yes, some of our team members from last year are returning to further assist in the mission projects. From their years of knowledge, experience and skills they are coming back to ‘tutor the tutors’ and run practical workshops to students on maintenance and plumbing.
Grant Taylor, Allan Hussey and his son Tim, will have their work cut out for them too. One of the training projects is to train a village group the technical skills of plumbing in the toilets for the new toilet block in the Wailoku Village.
The toilets project was a dream that started 55-years ago, and is now scheduled to be officially opened at the end of this week, with the Golden Oldies present at the ceremony.
Plus they have training workshops booked for the Anglican High School and another session at the Bible College.
Its becoming a ministry partnership with skills and knowledge transfer. People learning to look after and take ownership of their own facilities, and not rely on others to do it for them.
And I doubt if the boys will even have time to get to McDonalds while they are there!
