Assisting the Post-Election Violence (PEV) Kenyans, Feb 2008

In December 2007, Kenya had a national election that ended in violent dispute.  Over 1,000 people were killed and 300,000 people left homeless.  These IDPs (Internally-Displaced Persons) were in dire need.  In February 2008, DePaul students and staff assisted them.  We began with prayer in Holy Cross Church; we then listened to their stories in small group.  At the end, students and staff helped assist the IDPs with material goods, such as food and clothing.

Trip to North India -- Feb 2012

Fr. Dick Benson and I made a trip to visit the apostolic works of the North India Vincentian Province in late February and early March 2012.  The hospitality by the confreres, Daughters, and so many others made this trip very memorable.
