Sisters Lina, Clementina, Florence, and Anna traveled to the U.S. from Kenya, Nigeria, and Uganda, to participate in the Annual Board and Advisory Board meetings. The sisters also visited partner colleges and universities in Philadelphia and Scranton, Pa.
The purpose of this visit was to facilitate a two-week training course for the ASEC Staff in Africa, to explore the possibility of working with the Fund for Sisters to design a program whereby both ASEC and the Fund for Sisters could collaborate more closely with the Catholic Sisters Initiative (CSI), and to visit several SLDI alumnae ministries that have been funded by the Fund for Sisters.
