Friday Bonfire
--------------
H.M.F.M Emmanuel Tekle, will be presiding over the bonfire
activities; as usually is the case, many of you might not able to see
his face. He has a very elusive face; but we guarantee that you will
be able to hear him, enjoy his jokes and most scary of all, you will
be acting like him in no time. He is fluent in four languages. You
will find out then what languages H.M.F.M. Emmanuel is able to
speak.As it might get cold in the evening, try to bring a sweater or
a gabi/koborta to the bonfire.
Saturday Barbecue
-----------------
This year the kids barbecue will be extended to include adults.
Saturday lunch will be a barbecue followed by traditional coffee. If
you can bring a dish to share with everyone, please let us know by
sending an email to dehai-retreat@dehai.org.
This means you do not need to purchase lunch for Saturday from the
Retreat Center, since there will be lunch for us.
