I have just had an e-mail from Alpha in which he expresses his hearty thanks and appreciation to PIP (People in Partnership) and our church family in respect of our supporting the teachers’ salaries
and their NASSIT. This reduces his suffering as he is now heading the programme. The final handing over of all programmes to Alpha will be on the 28th February 2013.
NASSIT stands for The National Social Security and Insurance Trust, which is a Social insurance scheme in which members contribute periodically and receive benefits when a contingency occurs. This includes old age and it therefore includes retirement benefits. The scheme was set up in 2001.
His suffering includes having to handle the problems caused if we are unable to send the expected amount for the teachers' salaries. This causes tension in the school which is not helpful to the pupils or staff and it tests our faith, but God has been very gracious in supplying our needs so far and we keep looking to him to continue to do so.
Alpha then went on to tell me that he has been awarded a certificate as the best community activist by a social new (Radio Citizen 103.7)
