Awakening the Virtues
with guest speaker Margaret Mohamed

A child asked the Master “What is the purpose of our life?” He smiled lovingly and replied “To acquire Virtues”.
All religions teach us to be people with good character. The Virtues Project strategies are one powerful way to awaken, nurture and grow these qualities that make us human.
This work offers an approach to the virtues: the qualities of character and the simple elements of spirituality honored by all cultures and sacred traditions. However, it does not promote the practices or the beliefs of any particular religion. It’s grounded in the simple wisdom of many world religions, all of which describe the human virtues as the highest aspiration for humanity.

Samoan Dyslexia Aid Pilot Project
Background – January 2014.
A member of our church’s congregation, Dr Paul Henriques, laid the foundation for this project in January 2014. A dyslexic person himself, Paul has focussed his considerable knowledge and ability to start a pilot project in Samoa, aimed at helping Samoan primary and secondary school age children, using a computer software and workbook based programme called “Steps”.
In 2014, with the support of the Peace and Social Justice Group, Paul met with the Samoan Ministry of Education, Sports and Culture (MESC) to initiate the pilot project where 4 schools were chosen. Teachers and Ministry staff were trained in the Steps programme by Paul, who then monitored progress over the following year. The church, through the PSJ Fund, donated 16 computers to the 4 schools for use in teaching dyslexic students.
