Our airplane wheels touched Bamako tarmac late last evening. By 8 am today, LWR’s Country Program Manager in Mali, Nana Touré, had equipped us for what promises to be several inspiring days in her country.
Lutheran World Relief has worked in Mali since 1988, building the types of relationships with local people and organizations that make work in this part of the world—or any part for that matter—substantive, responsive, and responsible.
As we move north and west over the next few days, Nana has warned us that cell phone and internet access—already limited in the capital—will continue to diminish. Yet amidst that diminishing, I have already perceived different forms of human connectedness flourishing.
Many more connections to come
Lutheran World Relief is a nonprofit organization that works with Lutherans and partners around the world to end poverty, injustice, and human suffering.
