Unga goes Rural

Today we took a group of women from the urban slum called Unga, to a rural project so they could "see" for themselves how CHE has changed a community. SO many things happened today that I can't even begin to put the stories down. A few things, I noticed:

  • A group of women was teaching another group of women about their ministry...not me.
  • A group of rural women (sometimes considered as less intelligent or less educated culturally) was teaching a group of urban women who were eagerly listening and asking questions...this in itself was amazing...I cannot put into words what kind of landmark it is.
  • I got to watch, learn, take photos and share, but it wasn't "my thing" it was theirs and they were proud to share it...that is what CHE is all about.
  • The women in Unga were dreaming of transforming their own community as we learned and shared experiences...and this...this is VERY exciting.

More stories to come, and more thoughts later...but for now, just enjoy the view through my camera lens...it gives a glimpse of what occurred today.
