Wrapping Up

Farhiya meeting with Gary Nelson, General Secretary of Canadian Baptist Ministries, and Aaron on Easter Monday at the Eastleigh Community Centre.

Today was our last day in Eastleigh before departing for our Canadian home assignment on Monday. We had the great pleasure of bringing Gary and Carla Nelson to Eastleigh to visit the community centre and meet with our friend Farhiya who has not only benefitted from the program, but is now giving back to the community as both a teacher and community facilitator in the Iftin Self Help project.

Also this week, we welcomed Reshma Mahaboob from Kindernothlife to the Iftin program. Reshma will be coming along side Laura and the Iftin Self Help groups to provide expertise in strengthening Muslim SHG initiatives. She has been serving with KNH for 7 years and has helped establish women's self help groups in Bangladesh and Afghanistan.
