Although we are inactive, the message of Chaffians seems to still
resound around Oulu, in particular, but also in distant places as
Poland, Germany, and even Laos.
Yesterday, while I was shopping at PRISMA, an elderly Finnish
gentleman stopped me and asked whether I intended to restart the CHAFF
operation.
Kasia in Poland still remembers her walk through the graveyard on a
Sunday morning to attend our CHAFF sessions.
The philosophy of CHAFF is spread around the globe in Australia, Laos,
India, Sri Lanka, Zambia, South Africa, many Western African States,
USA, many Latin American countries and almost every country in Europe.
The message of CHAFF has been carried by our past participants, and
although the movement, signified by its Sunday buffets may have
vanished, the spirit still lives on.
Annikki and I would like to wish all of you the very best for this
season. Our Christmas dinner was great and we said a prayer for all of
you.

We had a wonderful 2 month holiday in India.
Best regards
Annikki and Jacob
