Six young people from Trofa completed solidarity missions in Kenya and Mozambique this past August

The participants joined the Es.Tu.Dar mission in Kenya and the Ponto de Encontro mission in Mozambique. These trips involved working with local children, youth, and families to learn about their different realities.

In Massângulo, Mozambique, the group worked on starting an intergenerational garden intended as a community meeting space. While the project was not finished during their stay, Father João Nascimento, the priest responsible for the community, will continue the work to create local employment opportunities. The young missionaries also provided a financial contribution to support a school tutoring project managed by Father Nascimento.
