South African Reading Camp volunteers

The first South African Reading Camp is a go for Sunday! Supported by many individual, parish, and business donations and a Trinity Global Partners grant, the first overseas Reading Camp is a partnership of the Mariya uMama weThemba Monastery, the Anglican Diocese of Grahamstown, and the Episcopal Diocese of Lexington.
