Two of our African students are completing specialized studies. Sister Bernadette Narotso Otieno has finished her class work for her diploma in Management and Administration, and is working on her project paper while also serving part-time at the Catholic Lay Missioners Office in Nairobi. Sister Jocelyne Mukabwa, who has been studying Health Administration and Management at the Uganda Martyrs’ University, was one of two students recruited by the Uganda Catholic Medical Board to do research on its behalf. The University permits students who have excelled in class work and examinations to do a 3-month period of research, and to prepare a thesis, which will lead to the awarding of a higher diploma. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Sister Teresita Hinnegan’s new Center for the Empowerment of Women and Girls, located in Roxborough, PA, is holding an Open House on Saturday, August 18, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Center will expand the work Sister Teresita Hinnegan has been doing the last three years in relation to trafficking of women. It will address issues related to the many forms of exploitation and violence against women and girls. The Center’s logo, a butterfly, represents emergence from a cocoon into a new and beautiful life…with wings to fly. For more information, please call 215-609-4360. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . In Mampally, India, Sister Alice Malady retired from the Chirayinkizh Government Hospital after 19 years of service. At the farewell ceremony, the hospital registrar said that she was an example for all. One of the nurses added, “By her words and deeds, she taught us the value of dedicated selfless service.” Sister Alice was presented with an oil lamp as a token of gratitude. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Sisters Katherine Baltazar from the U.S., Maigualida Riera from Venezuela, and Usha Gaikwad from India recently attended a week-long workshop with our Sisters in Germany on Internationality and Mission. “The days were alive with profound sharing, beauty, moving pictures, good food, song, dance, and bonding,” says Sister Katherine. The participants learned and shared much about life in mission in Europe, India, and North and South America.
