Please join us in lifting up prayers for our siblings in Nepal as search and rescue is still underway from last week's flash floods and landslides.

PDA has processed a solidarity grant for our partner Juneli Nepal and we are working with our other partner in Nepal, TOGETHER FOR NEPAL, while they assess the needs to soon put in their grant request, as well.

For more information, including how to give to support this response, see our website. We will provide updates as they are available. https://pcusa.org/disaster-assistance/active-responses/international-disaster/nepal

In honor of Public Education, and in memory of Vera, we invite you to share the name of a teacher who made a difference in your life in the comments.

Vera Swann (1931–2022) was a Presbyterian mission co-worker and educator whose family helped secure the end of segregated public education. Alongside her husband, Darius Swann, she served as one of the first African American Presbyterian missionaries to India. After serving at Ewing Christian College for a decade, they returned to the US in 1964 to work at Johnson C. Smith University.

In the period after Brown v. the Board of Education, the city of Charlotte developed a court-approved school integration plan—but upon consolidating the city school district with the majority-white Mecklenburg County, neighborhood schools were effectively resegregated. When Vera and Darius signed their son James up for a neighborhood school, the school district assigned him to a majority-Black institution far from home. With support of the NAACP legal defense fund, the Swanns sued the district, initiating the landmark 1971 Supreme Court desegregation case Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education.

Vera Swann worked as a leader in women's ministry, taught at various public schools, served as director of the Southern African Student Program for the Robert R. Morton Institute, and was a national observer of the first elections in South Africa. In semi-retirement, the Swanns organized the Maria Fearing Fund, supporting spiritual growth and cultural exchange between Africa and the United States.

In honor of Public Education Day, and in memory of Vera, we invite you to share the name of a teacher who made a difference in your life in the comments.
