There is no big theme for this month’s editorial, instead I would simply like to use this space to bring three things to your attention.
Firstly, if everything goes according to plan the next issue of Position Papers which you pick up will have quite a new look. We are currently looking at ways at improving the magazine’s design and content. So if you have any suggestions to make we would be very glad to receive them, for example, in the area of design, possible adjustments that might improve the overall look of Position Papers, and in the area of content, issues that you think we’re missing out on.
Secondly, I would like to draw attention to an interview I have done for this issue with Sr Caroline Ngatia, of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Sisters of Eldoret, Kenya. She has been running a haven in Nairobi for tens of thousands of Kenyan street children and now is about to embark on a new project for these children. I would invite you to read what she has to say and to consider helping out with her very worthwhile work.
Thirdly, I would like to extend my sincere condolences to Brenda McGann on the sudden death of her husband Cyril on July 6 while on holidays in the West of Ireland. Brenda is part of the Position Papers team and does trojan work in promoting the magazine. Naturally she along her late husband Cyril as well as the rest of her family are in our prayers these days.
