“We have been active participants in churches since we were teenagers, doing everything from cleaning carpets, painting walls, to serving on various program and administrative committees. We have been inspired by various pastors and enriched and encouraged by a remarkably close church community. We have attended church in temples and mud huts. Through all of […]
Our Favorite Participants

Stakeholders At The Land
Some more images of our hosts. They are kind enough to invite Fiona to photograph them and she is kind enough to share these images with us.
Permanent Residents at The Land
