What a delight to have our new missionary, Karen Anderson, join us for a pitch-in/pot luck dinner and presentation. We had a variety of Chilean dishes to try - a few recipes are on the Welcome Center if you wish to try any.
Karen shared some of the educational materials they have developed for community health education on topics such as HIV, nutrition and smoking. She gave a presentation on the activities and impact of EPES, the public health organization in Chile she founded over 30 years ago.
Here are a few of the people who gathered afterwards for a departure photo with Karen. Thanks to everyone who helped with this event. We look forward to learning more about Karen and her ELCA sponsored work in Chile.
