Chaplains’ Chat

This week in Chapel, we heard from Professor Jonathan Morris regarding the vision that he and his wife Katherine have with the Engaruka School Project in Tanzania. They first visited the region in December 2017 on a family trip that was planned before the death of their 15 year old son Marcus in October 2017, who was a student at Shore. On this visit the community shared a desire to build a school in the region. It was out of this trip that the Engaruka School Project became a reality. It is a wonderful opportunity to help others, and in this instance, it is in the area of education, which many of these students would otherwise have not had access to.

For Professor Morris, this was also an outworking of his Christian faith and the words of Jesus, who in John 15:12 says: “My command is this; Love each other as I have loved you.” We can love others around us in so many ways. It could be in the family, at School, in our social circles and, of course, even further abroad. The Engaruka School Project is just one example of this. Next week in Chapel is our giving week for the Term, and all the money raised will go towards funding this school in Tanzania. We are certainly asking the boys and staff to give generously to this wonderful project.
