A thanks to God and all members of staff
Yesterday 250 staff members of the hospital and the Media Centre celebrated the annual Christmas-party. Together with a team of volunteers Jenny Frank had organised the event. As is his wont Dr Jens Haßfeld led through the programme. In his 2021 review Dr John mentioned five events that would have been unthinkable without God’s intervention. He thanked all Peruvian colleagues and missionaries from overseas for their selfless service. Love and faith are the distinguishing features of Diospi Suyana which is why patients come from near and far to Curahuasi. Five members of staff were honoured for their outstanding performances.
Doris Manco, head of the Media Centre, delivered a sermon on the nativity story. Christ’s birth gives us the assurance and the power to love and forgive in freedom. After the sumptuous turkey supper Father Christmas (Sabine Teichert) and Farmhand Rupert (Marion Hofmann) appeared, chiming in pressie time.
For next year we plan to celebrate with the staff of the Diospi-Suyana-School. We trust that Corona’s Omega-variant will let Christmas parties take place.
