Welcome to WYKAAO
Welcome to WYKAAO
Since last December, he has become weaker in terms of physical strength. But his mind is still sharp. He, as usual, writes letters every day. However, he tells me that it now takes him longer than before to write a letter. So he still has not answered all the cards and letters that he received during Christmas.
There is another reason why some of you do not receive a reply from him. After writing a letter, he will write the address, seal the envelope and put on the stamps all by himself. His hands are not as steady as beforeand we notice that sometimes, he omits some parts of the address. For obvious omissions, we can return the letter to him. So sometimes, his letters are returned to him with the reason that the address is incomplete.
I will pass on your greetings to Father Mallin.
With my best wishes for the year of the Dog,
William

In this respect, the 2019/2020 WYIC will be held tentatively from November 29 - December 01, 2019 in cope with the above Celebration.
