Diocese of Mumias Youth Gain Global Perspective Through Senegal Exposure Tour

Mary Osayo and Marvin Waeme arrived in Dakar, Senegal, on Thursday, 30th July, for a four day exposure trip.

They were warmly received by Dr. Godwin Murunga, Executive Secretary of Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRIA) , a leading research organization based in Dakar, whose courtesy made the visit possible.

The team began with a visit to Gorée Island, a key site in the transatlantic slave trade where millions of Africans were held before being shipped to Europe and America.

They will also tour Dakar’s key sites, including the African Renaissance Monument, Les Mamelles Lighthouse, La Somone coastal reserve, and the historic town of M’bour.

We thank Dr. Godwin Murunga, who, through his friendship with the Diocesan Bishop, Rt. Rev. Dr. Joseph Wandera, has made this valuable learning opportunity possible for our youth.
