Women's Interfaith Initiatives Cross Borders
Jun 16, 2009
Reverend Natalie Shiras and Pauline Dongala's Faith in Action
Join us on a journey to Ghana and the Congo as Reverend Natalie Shiras and Pauline Dongala share their stories and a slide show about initiatives that were funded through the Women's Interfaith Institute and the John A. Sellon Grant.
Reverend Natalie Shiras, pastor of Church-on-the-Hill in Lenox, MA, recently traveled building interfaith and cross-cultural bridges in Russia, Turkey, Ghana, Nepal and India. WII funds helped re-build a church roof in Accra, Ghana and funded and funded medical and food supplies for disabled pensioners and their families in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Pauline Dongala is supporting two projects in the Congo: rebuilding a church and supporting a skills-training center for women in Kinkala, Congo. Join us for a lively presentation and discussion.
Please join us for this women's monthly potluck program and bring a friend.
