August passed by like a breeze with an abundance of rain and sunshine! Reminds me of the poem: “Everyone wants to be happy, nobody wants pain. But we can’t have a rainbow without any rain!” \ud83d\ude42 Yes, we have had our ups and downs this month, but we had many rainbows just the same!
Regarding life celebrations, we added two more anniversary festivities to the August marathon. Jason is now considered an adult by reaching the big number milestone of 18! He is working as a coach for the young aspiring footballers in Macau and he is happy that his ankle is recovering. God willing, he will soon be able to return to training sessions in preparation for the coming season. Jason also began his first university classes in Umac. Due to a covid incident, the initial month of classes are being taught online, but it will change to face to face classes in a few weeks. It’s a new day for Jason!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, Jorge also has reasons to celebrate as he enters his 71st<\/sup> year full of health, energy and zest for life! He is very active with many things, not least in sports, whereof he is now participating in a local football \u2018Veterans\u2019 team! We held a simple but happy celebration for his birthday here at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
