Visit of Misean Cara to Thigio

This week a group from Misean Cara paid a visit to Thigio.

Clare Matthias writes:
We had a wonderful visit with the Thigio team today. They were most gracious hosts and gave us a very thorough and informative tour of the project. What an incredibly inspiring team. It’s clear what an incredible difference they are making to so many lives in the community.

The students of the Kisima School gave us a heartwarming goodbye and some lovely gifts just before we departed. I don’t think any of us will soon forget their sincere kindness.

Our travelling party include: John Moffet CEO Misean Cara, Clare Matthias Misean Cara, Bishop Alphonsus Cullinan, Diocese of Waterford and Lismore, Reverend Uel Marrs, Global Mission Secretary (Presbyterian Church of Ireland) Jenny Smyth, Mission Director CMS Ireland,Sr. Josephine McCarthy (Presentation Sisters), Vice-Chair of the Misean Cara Board of Directors, Paul Gauchi Misean Cara Mentor East Africa.
