Women's STM

Over the past three days, we have been enjoying some time with a group of Canadian Baptist Women who are in Kenya with Marilyn Smith and Lois Mitchell. The group has come to look at issues concerning women and sustainable water in Kenya. We brought the group into Eastleigh so that they could learn about the development of a water treatment system by our friends at Eastleigh Pottery, a ministry of the Presbyterian Church of East Africa, and for them to meet some of our female students at the Eastleigh Learning Centre. Two of the girls from our classes came and shared their perspective of life in exile here in Eastleigh.


It was wonderful to be able to share meals together and enjoy time with these joy-filled women. It was especially good to be with Lois and Coleen, our good friends from New Brunswick. We said good-bye this evening as the ladies will be leaving the city for the remainder of their journey. We hope to see them all at least one more time before they return to Canada this coming Friday.
