AFARI Represented at the Presbyterian General Assembly in San Jose

AFARI had a table at the Mission network event outside the exhibit hall at Presbyterian General Assembly in San Jose for three hours on Sunday afternoon, June 22.

Here, Ram shares volunteer opportunities with a visitor while J.B. talks with a Rwandan pastor interested in how ARI's leadership training/sustainable agriculture focus enables pastors in rural areas to help their communities become healthier with local ideas and leadership.
