It has been named the Kasoba Hillsborough hall.

HILLSBOROUGH Presbyterian Church Mission Malawi Team have safely and successfully returned from their recent trip to Malawi.

After a winter of fundraising and the team paying their own expenses, the project to build a pre-school in the Northern Malawian village of Kasoba became a reality.

With eight days of building, combined with a bible school, the trip proved to be a life changing experience for the members. Kasoba is a village that is served by Diane Cussick, a member of the Presbyterian Church of Ireland team and no other Europeans have ever visited the area. The welcome they received was magnificent with the villagers joining in the construction of the school at every possible opportunity.

A service of Reflection and Thanksgiving will be held in the church this Sunday August 31 at 10.30am. Any member of the local community will be welcome to the service and it will be of special interest to those who are thinking of a similar trip.

After the service tea and coffee will be available and members of the team will be on to discuss their experiences with anyone who would like to find out more.
