Special Christmas messages from the Bambisanani founding schools
St. Mary’s, Menston and Mnyakanya School in South Africa founded the Bambisanani Partnership together sixteen years ago.
The annual Christmas messages to each other reflect the special bond that exists between the two schools and their commitment to ‘work together and learn together’.
St. Mary’s Menston
A Christmas message to Mnyakanya High School, 2022
Dear friends, Ubuntu.
Our Avent theme this year is:
Faith Hope Joy Love Light
We are two communities joined by Faith and we share a mutual Love of one another.
Our partnership brings unimaginable Joy to so many and our Hope is that our work continues for generations to come.
We pray that God’s Light shines upon you all during this blessed season of Advent and especially so this Christmas.
With love from St. Mary’s community.
Mnyakayna High School
A Christmas message from Mnyakanya High School in South Africa to St. Mary’s Menston
This is a special time of the year when we at Mnyakanya High School take our time to look back and count our blessings for the year we have just had.
We would like to say that St. Mary’s Menston has been a great blessing to the Mnyakanya community over the last 16 years.
The love that you have shown us, has healed the wounds of many people in our community.
St. Mary’s have become part of the Mnyakanya family and its community. It is unbelievable that St. Marys is located more than 9,000 miles away from Mnyakanya, but we feel like you sense all our situations and our needs. It is amazing that we can chat and plan things together as if we are living in the same place.
We are always learning from your culture and from your humanity. You have helped us create a culture of caring for others, humbleness and Ubuntu, I am because we are.
We would like to wish you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS that is full of all the blessings from God.
May God bless you ALL with a healthy life and prosperity throughout your life.
With love from the Mnyakanya Community
