Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Michelle
Eleven goodgymers descended on the Comboni Project on a bright Wednesday evening. The sisters greeted us like old friends and ran through the tasks they were keen to get our help with.
They were especially keen to enlist the help of "two strong men" and within a matter of seconds of arriving, Gus and Steph were led inside and taken to the prayer room. What happened there nobody knows, we are nun the wiser.
According to Steph they went to the 1st floor of the building to make space for a cupboard. Then moved the cupboard from a room on the top floor, through a small landing space down the winding stairs to the room where they had made space. Then moved the furniture back again. If you managed to follow that you're doing better than me...
Eventually the dynamic duo returned to the rest of the group, who by then were on a mission of their own, trying to clear endless weeds from the front and back garden.
Alanna and Jon, were working on the front garden clearing weeds and cutting back herbs. While the rest of us were set to work in the back garden clearing the lawn and two borders.
The sisters worked with us and we managed to fill three bags. Nun too shabby!
We'll be back to continue clearing the lawn and helping the sisters keep on top of the garden very soon.
The Centre is run by 2 Catholic nuns. A number and activities are held at the centre, including couples counselling, one on a one spiritual meetings, prayer meetings and various events.
