Slum Survivor Kingston

During the last weekend of Global poverty prayer week (Nov 12-19th) Oxygen is planning on hosting a Slum survivor weekend. During this time in the Oxygen halls for both young people and their youth leaders from local churches to spend the weekend living a bit like a billion do in reality (Friday 16th evening until Sunday 18th midday, dates for your diary!) There's going to be an Oxygen team slum and we would love to see more of you building your slums with us. A facebook event has been created with more details to follow but expect a challenging experience well worth taking part in and a well deserved lunch at the end:)

Even if people would like to visit for a couple of hours, there will be space and place to pray over some issues raised over the poverty prayer week and opportunity to spend time with the slightly smelly slum survivors! Charming!
