Photo Follow-Up: Return to Siabaswi Village

After a morning of sponsorship visitation, we returned for a check-in at our former partner village, Siabaswi, for a time of worship with local church leaders, followed by update discussions with Siabaswi pastors and with the community leadership committee. Along the way we connected unexpectedly with some "old" friends...

Pastors and community leaders say the village is doing well, moving ahead... largely due to the boost they got from our partnership.

"As I was leading worship, I saw my Siabaswi namesake, Graig Siabulungu,
just outside the entrance, and greeted him after the service."
