Goderich woman tells WMS of trip to Malawi
Brother, Sister, Let Me Serve You
was the theme of the Huron-Perth
WMS annual meeting which was
held in St. Andrew's Church,
Stratford.
Shirley Aitcheson presided and a
welcome was extended by Bernice
Richards. Lois Horne, North
Easthope, had a good display of
books available from the
Presbyterian Book Room in Toronto,
some of which were being sold at a
40 per cent discount.
The morning speaker was
Margaret McGillvray, Goderich. As
vice-president of the WMS Council,
she visited Malawi last summer.
Malawi, formerly Nyasaland, is
twice the size of Nova Scotia, and
has 11 million inhabitants of whom
two and one-half million are
Christian.
The Women's Guilds have 60,000
members with a woman at the head.
This is unusual in Malawi.
Mrs. McGillvray said that
companies like Sears, The Gap, and
Calvin Klein send unsold
merchandise to African countries
and it is Sold at a very reduced price.
Because of AIDS there are many
orphaned children.
Nancy Schneider, Listowel, read
the minutes of the last annual
meeting. Elizabeth Stewart,
Monkton, gave the treasurer's report
which showed that almost $55,500
had been sent to missions.
Much of this goes to the
Presbyterian World Service and
Development branch of the
Presbyterian Church.
Ina McMillan, Atwood WMS,
presided for the Presbyterial
Secretaries' Reports which were
given by Nancy Schneider, Ruth
Laing, Lillian Sparling, Lois Home,
Laurine McIntosh, Yvonne Knight,
Elizabeth Stewart, and Ina McMillan
for Edna Simmons.
The roll call was answered by
giving the name of someone who
inspired you to serve.
Following a soup lunch, Shirley
Aitcheson, Stratford and Eunice
Bisset, Goderich, led in a hymn-
sing. Following the singing of the
theme song, Brother, Sister, Let Me
Serve You, Laurine McIntosh and
Helen Nethercott, Motherwell-
Avoribank, gave the devotions.
Verna Strathdee led the In
Memoriam and Barbara McKay lit a
candle in remembrance of members
who had died during 2003.
Elizabeth Stewart introduced the
afternoon speaker, Rev. Teresa
McDonald-Lee. Monkton, who had
visited Ghana last summer. Ghana is
about one-quarter the size of
Ontario. Sixteen per cent of the land
is arable and only eight per cent is
planted in crops. Only three per cent
of the people are over 65 years old.
The literacy rate for women is 53
per cent and for men, 75 per cent.
Sixty-three per cent of the
population of 20,000,000 is

Christian. Their average_ annual
income is about $290.
The south part of Ghana is very
lush with fruits.
Schools and hospitals are all
linked with the churches and one of
the reasons for Teresa's trip .wag to
visit the work of the Presbyterian
World Service and Development
projects. Canadian money is used for
architectural plans, curriculum, etc.
for the schools.
There are some half-finished
buildings because they ran out of
money.
