Jumping for Christian Children in
the Holy Land
|
Tony Ockenden OBE, aged 77, who has been to the Holy Land
many times in recent years, says that he has always wanted to do a
parachute jump and decided 2005 was the year to get on and do it. His
family rallied around sponsoring him for a tandem parachute jump at
Hinton Sky Diving Centre, near Brackley, Northants on 14 June, 2005.

Caroline Smith and her fiance, Tom Morris, also jumped
with him on a memorable day that raised £5,000 for CNT. |
 Tony
said: "The jump was a truly fantastic experience for me and I feel
somewhat guilty to have raised money for an event that was so personally
pleasurable. However, as you know, the education of the Christian
children in the Holy Land is close to my heart and the Cambridge
Nazareth Trust does wonderful work towards that cause. I was
particularly grateful that two Head Teachers of Latin Patriarchate
schools in Jordan, Sisters Caroline and Lina (below right), were able to
be present.
And to have more than twenty other family and friends
around made the day one I shall not forget in a hurry. I do thank
everyone most heartily for their donations and I know the Trustees of
the CNT are thrilled with the result." |
