The Rev. George F. Woodward III
The Rev. George Woodward recently returned from taking a group of 18 youth from the Diocese to join with 12 youth from the Diocese of El Salvador to engage in cultural exchange, hard work and a shared transformational journey on Isla Mendez in El Salvador.
The traditional way of dealing with the disabled in many
African tribes was to hide them.
Now, due to the efforts of Percia Hutcherson and the Episcopal Diocese at
Eldoret, Kenya-East Africa, the disabled are being healed and
finding their places in society.
They were helped through a program called Community Based Rehabilitation
which was initiated by Percia Hutcherson. This program has helped
more than 1,200 disabled people.
"The greatest impact of this project
is the realization of the human worth of people with disabilities."

Ms. Diane Gray to Belize from St. Matthias' Parish:
Diane Gray, of St. Matthias’ Parish in Whittier, was a Coordinator at the Summer Camp (June 30 - July 10) of St. Mary’s Anglican Church in Belize City. As a fifteen-year-old, Diane (far left of picture) was one of three teachers responsible for 15 five-to-seven year olds. She wrote of her experience, "Although the camp structure was much different from Parish and Diocesan camps I have attended before, I learned that children the world over enjoy the same things. I am glad to have been able to share some of the games and songs that I love and enjoy the favorites of the Belizean summer campers." Diane hopes to return next year with more Los Angelinos to get to know Belizean culture and people even better.
