Graduation

On the 19th of August Bridgeworld College held its ninth graduation ceremony. 30 students received diplomas or degrees in theology, 14 students received diplomas in counseling psychology, and 5 students received diplomas in social work. Though I had not personally taught any of these graduates, it was a joy to participate in the ceremony.

Rev. Dr. Mwaya wa Kitavi, CRWM Regional Director for Eastern and Southern Africa, gave the graduation address. I am indebted to Dr. wa Kitavi for arranging the opportunity I have to volunteer at Bridgeworld College. As we had previously only met via Skype and telephone, it was very good to finally meet him in person.
