In 2009, The Church of The Redeemer sent 18 missionaries to Seroti, Uganda. We were under the umbrella group, Pilgrim Uganda. Some of our group worked in the fields, a doctor from The Brigham and Womens's Hospital performed 21 operations in a clinic with dirt floors and I with several members of our group, worked at The Beacon of Hope College in Seroti, Uganda. I brought all the suppiles from Boston..the canvas, the paints, pencils, aprons donated by the Copley Society, tape, paper...everything. We tacked the 18 feet of canvas on the outside of a building and some 100 students worked on the mural. I just guided tham...they did the work themselves. It was a life changing experience.
The mural.. These 4 sudents, Elijah, Stella , Cathy And Sam were the leaders who helped me with the project and organized the students.
Here I am with students and teachers from the Beacon of Hope College.
