2. from Rifka (SDI) : July 24
 
Hello, Melinda - One awareness at the Opening Ceremony - there was no choral
representation from the whole of Africa. A few delegates from Nigeria are here, 
plus Charlotte who is the SD Chair from DR Congo (and runs the Lemba Imbu 
school) and a large group of (white) South Africans.Although visas are certainly 
a difficulty, the big problem is no money for travel. Hope we can work on a 
global attendance fund over the next 4 years!
 
The mayor's representative from Innsbruck gave a very warm and friendly speech.
 
Last night Ibu gave a 1 and a half hour talk - one memorable theme for me is 
that there is purification, then preparation, then action as a process for 
becoming in touch with God's will for your life. And that the purification is 
totally up to you, as you made the decision to accept what was being purified. 
(None of this is official - just what I heard.)
 
Love, Rifka
