Viola Poni

We are so pleased to have recently heard from Poni Viola who was a CRESS sponsored student who studied for a Diploma in Human Nutrition and Dietetics at the Bukalasa Agricultural school and undertook work experience with the CRESS agriculture and clinic teams on diet and nutrition during COVID.

Dear Caroline,

It’s been a while since we last communicated, I salute you and the team in Christ’s name. I am so excited to reach you this evening.

God has favoured me, I got an engagement with one of the organisations in Kajo keji county. All thanks to CRESS for the support and the mentorship I received. I came out here stronger because of you. Therefore I will be reaching the Diocese of Liwolo with my monthly donation to the CRESS envelope to enlarge the charity, though little, I am so excited to be able to start it.

Thanks you all, to Caroline, Bishop, and everyone else

I love you all for your support.

With love

Poni viola.
