On Friday, March 7, this little lady paid the Diocesan House staff a visit. The red fox was first spotted in the center of the patio under the tree and then later curled up by the back window near the Bishop's Chapel. She has since wandered away. It must be spring!

The MDG Committee has donated funds to US (United Society, previously USPG) in England to help support the Rapid Response Fund for Syria. The Syrian crisis began after protesters called for the release of political prisoners in March 2011. The Syrian goverment responded to the continued anti-government/pro-democracy protests with an armed response which has turned into a civil war. The UN reports that more than 2 million Syrians are registered as refugees and half of these are children, most under the age of 11. US teamed up with Embrace the Middle East to provide basic education to the refugee children, along with other support including food distribution. The donations that are given to the US Rapid Response Fund Syria Appeal will help build a school and get the children back into a classroom to continue their education surrounded by teachers from the refugee population*.
A big Thank You goes to the MDG committee for gathering these funds and helping a wonderful cause.
