Daniel Centre

The Daniel Centre currently has 7 lads with one due to leave at the beginning of September – they ideally receive the lads at 18 to 19 years old from orphanages and aim to have them in work and leaving the Daniel Centre at 21 to 22 years old, but this varies according to the individual needs and ability to afford a mortgage when they leave.
Balazs’s wife Agnes is no longer doing her Basis outreach and has become part of Blythswood International, and she is the one now keeping in touch with their Ukrainian partners online. She also co-ordinates the shoebox programme and summer camps in Eastern Europe and safeguarding internationally.
Balazs is looking for someone to take over Blythswood Romanis from him – someone who can embed the lads in Romanian churches before they leave the Centre, since Balazs himself, as a Hungarian, attends a Hungarian church. Blythswood fell they may be spread too thinly over too many projects and need to focus on fewer projects more efficiently and more effectively.
Ebbie, living in India, has now taken over responsibility for Africa and Asia and Adnane, who runs the Pakistan Sunday School Ministries is moving forward with a school for children who are forced to work as kiln workers.

Talita Kum

Balazs will be visiting Adi in late September to see whether the charity shops there can be run more efficiently and effectively for Talita Kum to help the children of the Roma population.
