Goodbyes


Yesterday Catherine, who has been a Strider working at one of the El Castillo homes, went back to N. Ireland. She's been living and working with the girls for the last 3 months. The girls were all very sad to say goodbye to her - and had prepared a few dances to say farwell.

It's been really great to see Catherine getting to know and making friends with the girls, and listening to them say their goodbyes and the girls praying for her, it was really clear how they had made really strong relationships and had learnt so much from each other. That's so much of what Stride is about - making relationships across cultures, and learning from each other. And it's great to be involved in that.
