Honoring Sister Damon

Last Tuesday, USAID held a lunch in honor of Sister Damon.

It was a beautiful day. The lunch was in the attractive new bus terminal that USAID built last year. Different people spoke, including Father Freddy, Sister Jean, a UAC tourism student named Amyle (in English!), and a higher up in the United States Agency for International Development.

Everyone talked about Sister Damon's dedication to education as a move toward sustainable development, empowerment of the poor and our duty as compassionate and loving people. The only thing that could have made the day better were Sister Damon there herself.
