Dear Friends,

I hope you are having a great week. My name is Young Israel Izere. I am a young Quaker from Burundi (but currently living in the UK).

Last year, I volunteered to design Burundi Friends Church's website. I am writing to you now to share with you the following recent article I wrote for the website. It reports on the latest visit by FWCC Clerk Simon C. Lamb to Burundi, where he held an interesting dialogue with the Burundian young Friends.
