Three African directors from the African Sisters Education Collaborative (ASEC) are spending part of this summer in the United States, traveling coast to coast to share stories of transformation!
Sr. Francisca Demoah, SIJ, ASEC director in West Africa and Ghana; Sr. Clarisse Remjika Jaiwo, SST, Director for Cameroon and ASEC’s SLDI Africa Coordinator; and Sr. Lina Wanjiku Ndugn’u, SE, Regional Director for East and Central Africa, are journeying from Maine to California, making many stops along the way to tell the story of ASEC. The sisters have each spent years helping other sisters across Africa access education and training to serve their communities better. Their mission in the U.S. is to share how ASEC-supported sisters are changing lives through education, healthcare, and social work that gives hope to the marginalized.

During their visit to ASEC headquarters in Scranton, PA, the African directors met with ASEC staff, shared stories from the field, and connected with members of the Marywood University community. Their work supports the education of sisters who are transforming lives through service.
Before continuing their travels, the sisters visited ASEC’s headquarters at Marywood University in Scranton, PA. The visit allowed the sisters and U.S. staff members, Sr. Nancy Kamau, LSOSF, Development Director; Maureen Elliott, Assistant Development Director; Isabelle Henry, Program Coordinator; and Jake Stevens, Media and Communications Manager, to connect with future students during Marywood University’s Pacer Priorities Day. The sisters will continue their travels across the country, meeting with supporters and new audiences along the way. Wherever they go, the sisters bring stories of the lasting impact of education and the hope it creates.
