Thiès is a great place outside of Dakar and home of the Mission Inter Senegal (MIS) office. MIS is coordinating and assisting a myriad of programs throughout Senegal that include women's ministry, food and medical aid, micro-financing, children's programs, and water well projects. Jon and Paul (and kitty) are giving a hand in the offices most days. Erin is busy nearby taking and testing blood in the lab of a new clinic MIS has been building in Thiès. The entire SST group had visited the same clinic earlier in May. SST Director, Thomas Meyers, was in Senegal and traveled to Thiès for the visit. The students were very happy to see him... or was it the mail he was carrying?

Annelise Goldschmidt, seated at her desk, is a longtime friend of SST and Goshen College. We would like to thank her for the measureless work she does behind the scenes at MIS and the SST program.
