Kenya - Dianne Smith, RN
Submitted by rkhotte2 on Thu, 01/14/2010 - 20:43.Dianne is an RN, living and working as a long-term missioner in Maseno, Kenya. Dianne writes: "I left my heart in... Maseno, Kenya!" It was a privilege to work with Drs. Gerry and Nan Hardison in East Africa in November and December of 2007. The Episcopal Church has commissioned me to return in the fall of 2008 for a longer-term assignment. It will be an honor to work again at Maseno Hospital, the HIV/AIDS Comprehensive Care Center, and with the mobile medical clinics and feeding programs that serve thousands of orphans in Western Province every week. "Love one another," we are so often reminded. I invite you to join me in loving service, holding hearts and hands in communion around the world. Asante sana! (Thank you very much!)

While Jubilee has funded programs in Uganda, the Diocese has a limited involvement in Uganda. There is a priest in Massachusetts, from Uganda, The Rev. Christine Nakyeyunec, who is interested in assisting with the facilitation of relationships between Ugandan communities and churches in our Diocese. You can reach Christine at nakyeyunec@yahoo.com.
A recent group travelling to Uganda in June 2009 from Church of the Redeemer, Chestnut Hill, planned their trip through an Christian non-profit organization called Pilgrim-Uganda. Pilgrim-Uganda is a Christian relief organization "created in response to the tragedy of more than a million Africans who reside as Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Northeast Ugandan camps as a result of war, famine, AIDS, and economic blight". See Pilgrim's website at: http://www.pilgrim-uganda.org. The team from Church of the Redeemer published an excellent blog account of their trip that can be found at: http://web.me.com/dhuntermills/Uganda_Mission/Home.html.
