The Fishermen Trust is legal!!

I am pleased to report that on Wednesday 21st February 2007 the Fishermen Trust became a legal entity!!

Raj mailed me this morning with some pictures of 'the formal ceremony' (done on the boot of a car outside the Chartered Accountants by the looks of it!!!

Raj signing the deeds....

Raj is allowed to be the 'founding trustee' (something they have in India but there will be plenty of other trustees to ensure right governance and that the trust is managed properly.

Miriam signing the deeds....

Miriam is married to Preveen (another trustee). They have 2 kids.

Preveen and Miriam go to the same Church as Raj and have been key in getting this whole vision going. They are really suportive of Raj and his vision.

Paul Dass also goes to Raj Church and is a key guy in Bangalore and India and beyond!!

Paul runs an organisation called Provision India.

Here he is signing the deeds....

The trustees 'celebration' after the signing...

Preveen (Miriams husband) is the one nearest the camera and Annie next to Miriam. Annie has been a friend and a greater supporter of Raj's for many years. She is married to Malcolm with two daughters.

They have very generously offered their flat to be used by the Fishermen Trust for two years free of cost

And finally, all of the trustees....

You may also be aware that Raj has also been lecturing at the South Asia Bible College in Bangalore. I hope Raj will mail us a report on that soon but in the mean time here are some pictures of his students:
