Graduation Day

Our first class of students has graduated from UCBC!!

These students came to UCBC for our first year, in 2007. They are our pioneers... Truly, they helped to build and develop UCBC. 

It was a joyous day celebrating with the community, these students' accomplishments. 

Many are going to start work, some will continue their studies at UCBC and others will continue in other universities. 

I'll try to upload more photos soon... :)

All is well here in Beni. It's good to be back and to work with the staff here again. More soon...

with love,
Bethany
