This will give you some idea of the breadth of the work here. The students are now in the middle of their exams. In early February they will all go to Rome as the guests of the Vatican. On their return the students on the 60th Graduate School will attend a closing ceremony and receive their certificates from the University of Geneva. About half the present students will leave on or about 15th February. The others will remain to continue their studies on the Masters course whilst the nuns (2 Catholic, 2 Orthodox and 2 Lutheran) will continue their course in Spirituality. We will continue helping them with these studies and in teaching them how to improve their English.
Love and Peace
