ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
Tabby Ryan lives in Adelaide and is a member of the Mt Barker Christadelphian Church or ecclesia.
Over many years Tabby has lived in Kenya working with the local people and sharing her love of the gospel message.
Tabby has shared some of her reflections in a book recently published entitled: Give – A Story Of Poverty Resilience and Hope.
In conversation with Tabby, we discuss her yearlong volunteer experience in Kenya as she shares her experiences. At twenty-one she moved from Australia to a remote village to teach at a high school operated by the charity Agape in Action. She shares the struggle to come to grips with the stark contrast between her privileged upbringing and the extreme poverty faced by her students and neighbors along with details of the physical and emotional challenges of adapting to a new culture, including contracting malaria and navigating the complexities of local education.
Her reflection cant but help serve as a personal jolt, even a wakeup call to our responsibility to serve the less fortunate.
The book brief says:
This book is a story of poverty, resilience and hope. It is Tabby Ryan’s personal account of Agape in Action work in the village of Bungomia in Kenya and her inspiring stories related to that important work. For many who haven’t experienced this kind of work, it will transport readers into an entirely different world and let them take a peek into what happens in this remote part of Africa.
The book is available from the Christadelphian Scripture Study Service
All proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to Agape in Action.
