The planning and execution of this retreat was my final project as part of the church mobilizations team at IJM Bolivia. The retreat was held on a Tuesday-Thursday at El Puente, a Christian camp grounds three hours outside of La Paz, and we had 100 people present. A wonderful team of 5 people came from IJM Canada to do the presentations and the Bolivia team covered logistics and other activities. I really loved being able to see many of the fruits of our year's work being put into play in the retreat, and knowing that many seeds were being planted. In the picture, two of the Canadian presenters are meeting with a group of Bolivian social workers to encourage them in their work. I am present to translate.
