The Kouvome community is in mourning. The Transformational Community Development (TCD) Education Committee lost a pillar, and the village lost a leader, the elder brother of the village chief, Alfa. Activities are on hold, as members pay their respects and find solace in each other. The late member’s legacy lives on—a reminder of the power of community and shared purpose. April will bring renewal, and with it, a recommitment to the journey.
Thank you!
