An Afternoon with Joachim Ssebwana!

 To wrap up our 2017 season, the team brings you an interview with Joachim Ssebwana whose spirit lights up like a Christmas tree! 

He invited the team and our families to St. John's Seminary in Camarillo where he is studying on scholarship from his home in Uganda. We spent a pleasant day touring the grounds and walking the orchard against the background of the disturblingly beautiful view of the smoke clouds from the distant Thomas fire. As we learn in our interivew with Joachim, beauty and distress often coexist.

We also feel our visit with Joachim was a perfect way to end 2017, in the spirit of hope, good will, and new beginnings! We wish Joachim the best in his studies and look forward to corresponding with him when he returns to Uganda. 

Weebale Nnyo, Joachim!
