THANK YOU
Below are letters from parents of OMF children at Hebron expressing their appreciation of a gift recently received from CSA.
“Dear Mrs Green
We are parents of Joanne Booth who is at Hebron School in India. We are missionaries with OMF and work in Japan and we have just received a letter from Hebron telling us of a gift received from the Association to be divided among the children there. We wish to express our thanks for your love, care and help for the children. Joanne loves Hebron and has settled well with lots of friends. She is beginning her third year there. We have seen the school, talked to the teachers and find the place to be a ‘grown up Chefoo’!
Many thanks. Sincerely, Desmond and Margriet Booth”

We have two girls who are old Chefusians and both have very happy memories of Chefoo, so there is that connection, too! Our second daughter, Susanna, has been in touch with the Association through Donnington where she is a happy member of the family.
We would be grateful if you would pass on our appreciation to those who so kindly gave.
With warmest greetings, Zinnia Symonds”
