The Wrap

Today’s edition by: Kellina

I just got back from a mission trip to Tanzania and it was life-changing. The people and the culture reminded me so much of Winston-Salem — how welcoming and joyful the people are. This photo was taken during my last day in Dar Es Salaam where our friends who know the city took us to a market to shop for some souvenirs.
