UMW Regional Missionary...Meet Finda

Finda Quiwa participated in the UMWO Convention,
she was part of the "yellow" house.  
As we traveled via the ferry to arrive in Freetown on the evening of our arrival in Sierra Leone, Finda greeted our team as she was on the ferry that evening as well. We were introduced to her as a Regional Missionary with special attention to young women's programs in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Finda and 5 other women are working in various areas of the world as Regional Missionaries.   Women in each of the regions establish the kinds of programs that need assistance based on the needs of the area.  Regional missionaries acquaint local women with the resources that are available to assist them with their particular project or goal.   Missionaries help organize workshops, training sessions, networking opportunities, and strategic planning for action.
Finda Quiwa is serving in her home country of Sierra Leone.   She guides the Global Justice Volunteer program for Africa as well as the development and implementation of programs/training for young Africa women.   What a pleasure it was to meet this young mother of three who is capable and excited about being in ministry. If you would like learn more about Finda, please check this link. 
Our UMW mission giving supports the Regional Missionary program.  Just one more way we are making a difference in the world.
