Women at their Sudanese refugee church

I was invited for a tasty Sudanese meal of beans, potato, meat, and fresh bread following the worship service in Kakuma refugee camp this morning.

While talking together, these women asked if I would take a photo of them – first as a group and then as individuals. They want to be seen by the church-at-large.

An IAFR meme from a photo of a Sudanese woman I took a few years ago in Kakuma

I had taken photos of several of these women many years ago. I showed them a meme I had made using one of the pictures (above). They were encouraged to know I had shared this with others to raise awareness of the refugee church – and to share the good news with others.
