Hearing It Directly
Several Presbyterian women had the opportunity to hear Monique Misenga, International Peacemaker in September tell about poverty in the Congo. It was moving. Sketching a historical background for the backdrop, she explained that the infrastructure was destroyed and numerous challenges exist. Families strive to have one meal a day. Education is provided for those who can pay. Conditions are heartbreaking. She assist women in setting up small business to provide food for the families. Churches are able to assist some as well with education. She had handmade products such as necklaces, tops and linens for sale. Women eagerly made purchases and gave donations. Supporting the Presbyterian Women Palm Project took on a deeper meaning. We were glad we made the trip to Dover to hear from our sister how we can help the Congo grow.
