Sending Valentine's wishes your way in a separate posting written by a friend of mine who has visited East Africa and has developed a partnership between her Pennsylvania parish and some communities in Tanzania.
Today I won't be able to paste key articles in to a blog posting, but have highlighted the ones that look most important in red below, with the next-most-important in purple.
Field Staff: let me know if you are in Kenya and can't access one or more and would like to read--I can send you via email!
Blessings,
Mary Kay
