I want to share what God has done here in recent days. Firstly, we have uniforms for children, which were delivered at the first meeting with the mothers on Friday. It was very gratifying to see the joy of children and mothers getting the two shirts with the logo already "Mara Yohana PEPE (PEPE St. John)".

Our closing graduation ceremony for PEPE was amazing. It was held in the church of one of the other PEPEs, and around 150 people came. God has truly been at work in people’s lives through PEPE, whether it be the children themselves or their families. Give thanks!
