The Williamsons

The Williamson family, who were last on St Helena in 2008, and left on the day of the rock fall, have arrived back on St Helena to spend 2 and a bit months here.  Their main aim is to help SHAPE get their online shopping working properly, and to assist various people in the community.  SHAPE is an organisation that provides sheltered employment for the disabled on the island.  They produce some interesting things, like hand made recycled paper, items woven from flax and aloe fibres, candles and soaps, bead work, etc.  Kyle is an art teacher, Genevieve runs her own jewelry business from home, and home schools her children.  Ben is 15yrs old, and Samuel will be turning 12 before returning to the USA.
This family has stayed in touch with many different people on St Helena, and generously send items we cannot easily obtain.  Their church has donated several Bibles to our church over the past 3 years.
We look forward to spending time with them.
