LAURIN GOING TO SOMALILAND!
Laurin Vroom, who co-leads our youth with Luke Bayly, is a nurse who works with high-risk deliveries in
the Labour and Delivery Room at the Jewish General. For two months, from the end of October to
nearly Christmas, Laurin will be volunteering her skills at a hospital in Somaliland, the northern-most
(and least unstable) region of Somalia. Laurin will have living expenses while there, and so we are
inviting St Peterites to provide both prayer and financial support for Laurin. Let's raise at least $500 for
Laurin's living expenses there! If interested, please make out a cheque to St Peter's, submit it in an
offering envelope, and mark the "Mission: General/Other" option on the envelope.
