Pilgrimage of Service: Summer 2003

Team Objectives:
This summer, there are three teams traveling to Africa. While each team has specific goals and objectives, we are striving to keep the big picture in view—peace in Angola and the return of the refugees. Eight team members will travel to Lusaka and from there to the Nangweshi Refugee Camp in Zambia. Six of these are young women who will spend four weeks in the camp with a primary focus to teach English as a Second Language. Fourteen people will travel to Angola and on to the Bie Province to build and inaugurate the rural school program.

After three weeks, most of the Angola team will return home, while our will continue on the Nangweshi, joined by a team of three who will meet them in Johannesburg and travel to the camp together. This group will focus on the work with the Mercy Teams, as well as cast vision for rebuilding the rural schools in Angola to our refugee partners, enlisting their help.
