SEP 29, 2022 WATER IS LIFE KENYA - WILK
Our speaker last Thursday was Joyce Tannian focusing on water projects in the Amboseli Region in Kenya. Joyce had one of the most astounding openings we have ever experienced. Formerly, a professional opera singer for many years in NYC until 911  changed the world, she sang the full first verse of  "How Great Thou Art"  in the Kenyan dialect of the Amboseli Region. Thank you for an amazing experience.
