Alumna returns to speak about her work with orphans in Uganda

The Center for Peace and Justice invites the community to hear from alumna Davy Desmond from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 20, in the religious studies lounge. Davy, a double major at George Fox in economics and international studies, has focused her energies on serving the poor, working the past few years with Orphan Relief and Rescue. Currently, she is working to establish a thriving ministry in Uganda.

After speaking at GFU she will leave for Uganda on Oct. 1, where she will partner with Show Mercy International. For 70 days she will work in “Hope Children’s Home,” home to more than 100 children, and will also help build the “Field of Dreams,” a 25-acre plot of land designated for ministry (a school, a clinic and a church).

Please join us Tuesday. Questions? Contact Melanie Newell at mnewell@georgefox.edu.
