Monday night our PACE program closed with a joyful celebration in the assembly hall. Each student was presented with a certificate attesting to her completion of the program. As each came up to receive her certificate, there was much clapping and singing . . . and a bit of dancing! Then they presented the PACE teachers with lovely Congolese carvings. We had a lovely dinner right there in the hall, followed by word games, and lots of singing and dancing. Enjoy the photos of the Sisters with their certificates!

What a wonderful account of a modern missionary journey!
Congratulations to the Congolese sisters for their enthusiasm and commitment to learning. They will surely ignite a great zeal for learning in their students when classes resume! Three cheers to Margaret and Maureen for their missionary spirit and their expertise as dedicated educators.
