February
2008 - Vol 2
API Visitors |
The first
two months of 2008 have brought a succession of visitors
to Dakar to observe and participate in API’s work.
In mid-January we welcomed a team of medical volunteers
from the Chicago area. This group of eight individuals
came to work with the United Methodist Church to provide
care and medicine as part of the church’s extensive
mission program in Senegal, The group graciously donated
their time, energy, and supplies to provide a free clinic
to one of API’s 18 associations,In February, we welcomed
three more American visitors to API. These women, Doreen
Tilghman, Beverly Russell and Dr. Ruby Brown, |
|
visited our newest association during their weekly meeting
in Yoff. We were able to provide another hands-on experience
to these visitors, as witnessed by the photo above.
The curiosity of Doreen, Beverly, and Ruby led to great
questions for the association as to why these women
chose to participate in API and what impact they anticipate
as they begin their loan cycles. Many women echoed their
appreciation for the support that API provides in all
aspects of their lives as an important factor in participating
in the program.
We are grateful for the time and the willingness to
engage with API participants that both of these groups
donated while they were in Senegal. We hope to bring
you stories of future visitors throughout 2008.

2007
Donors: Thank You! |
We would like to acknowledge all of
the support we received in 2007 from our friends,
families, and supporters. Without the generous assistance
of these individuals and organizations, API would
not have been able to expand its program to reach
nearly 500 women by the end of 2007. For this, we
are truly grateful.2007 |
