I will highlight some particular activities in Gisenyi that OJEPAC has reported. This is for the benefit of Friends at 15th St. Meeting, who are very interested in continuing our relationships with youth, younger children, and adults in Gisenyi:
- Many impressive cultural and community-building activities!
- Reports from (Quaker) Youth Peace Fellowship - Mutura. Includes cultural activities, micro-enterprise, farming, and peace ministries.
- Elisee met with Agrippine from Gisenyi Friends Church about continuing communications between the youth and younger children in the church, and the FDS in New York.
- OJEPAC met with Porsche Washington, a USA Peace Corps volunteer in Gisenyi to apply for a grant for an HIV prevention/awareness project.
