Farm Helpers

I have received a beautiful testimonial from Kacey and Ianna,students and Farm Helpers from the US who stayed at Alverno Retreat last weekend. There is a photo with my blog on the Kiwi Quakers.ning.com website of previous Farm Helper visitors from Argentina, who enjoyed singing with the choir I belong to.Ianna and Kacey loved seeing the stars, which are so clearly visible from here. They especially wanted to go to the rugby game in Wellington before they go to Australia.
The other testimonials on my blog are from a church group that had their weekend Alpha course retreat here two weeks ago, and thoroughly enjoyed walking on the beach and hearing the sea from the houses, especially at night.
Regards,
Sylvia
