Hello Neighborhood Action Ministry Team!

- First, I would like to let you all know that my trip to Guinea, Africa was super great! I had an opportunity to meet some Peace Corps officials and volunteers, a friend who works for USAID who works at the US Embassy in Conakry, and most importantly, I got to meet so many beautiful people in the Haute Region at the village where my daughter serves. It was so good to see that regardless of the living conditions and having so little, people are happy and loving and they share all they have. It was very rewarding, as a mother, to witness how my daughter has developed herself in a very independent, determined, loving and joyful servant.I cannot ask for more. I was even able to celebrate her birthday with her village family with a “Piñata party”.Yes……we made the piñatas! I also showed my African moves while dancing with women along the sounds of drums, during a sweet and festive welcoming party they had for me. Please enjoy a couple of pictures, I will show you more when I see you.
- The NAM Champions vision meeting last week was very productive, and we feel that we will soon come up with a solid portrait of who we are as NAM.
- Groveway activities resumed last week, we talked about St. Patrick’s Day. We are excited for the end of the school year and summer, but we cannot do this work without your support. Please consider being a Groveway volunteer.
- On Thursday, Mrs. Kelly, from Learn to Grow, Inc., presented at SSOC. She had students write briefs definitions on who they are. This exercise helped them to see themselves as valued individuals and contributors to society.
