Every dawn at St. Joseph Development Programs Kangemi unfolds a fresh chapter of inspiration. It’s a place where the ordinary is elevated by an extraordinary essence of love. This week, that essence was vividly felt as we welcomed Rev. Bishop Christian Würtz, Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Freiburg,Episcopal Vicar for Tertiary Education,Rector of the Diocesan Major Seminary St. Charles Borromeo and also Mr. Juan Prieto, his wife Madame Margara, and his brother-in-law, Mr. Louis, our collaborators from Spain, who generously sponsor students across our educational spectrum, from the Upendo Unit to the Secondary school and technical department.

The atmosphere was electric with anticipation as children, students, and our dedicated support staff eagerly awaited their arrival, brimming with gratitude for the unwavering support. The visit was more than a mere meeting; it was a celebration of partnership and progress. The warmth and sincerity of the hospitality extended reflected the core values of our institution.

Both the bishop and our collaborators had the opportunity to witness firsthand the impact of their contributions and were visibly pleased with the mission and the strides made in various projects.
