Although it is August, when most villagers are away in search of work, a small number of people were present due to local opportunities. We used the time for visits and sharing good thoughts and ideas. What particularly encouraged me was when seven villagers came into agreement with the larger group. Progress is very visible. People are grateful for the Transformational Community Development (TCD) program.

This month, we had a meeting with some of the leaders in Leskovac, and we began planning for a Vision Seminar in October. They expressed their desire to learn about change and the development of individuals and communities.

In February, I will have the opportunity to present the TCD program to a community in Surdulica whose leadership has approved our work in that settlement. We are grateful for that opportunity!
