Beatrice Gardner is one of the co-ordinators of The Ababa Project, whose connections with the Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady are long established and fruitful. The example of these lay missionaries from St Teresa’s in Dumfries and its environs is inspiring and, as a result, in 2022, Missio Scotland is using these established channels to support a project in Ethiopia that will positively affect children’s lives.
In this special Mission Month edition of the We Are Mission podcast, Beatrice speaks to us about the importance of her faith, the Ababa Project itself, her time spent visiting the supported programmes, initiatives and projects in Ethiopia and the parish's joy at the support received from Missio Scotland.
