Kirk Moderator to Visit Malawi AIDS Project Workers

The Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland is to visit workers involved with AIDS projects in Malawi in Africa.

The visit this week by the Rt. Rev. David Lacy, will follow in the footsteps of Scotland’s first minister, Jack McConnell, who toured the country last summer. Part of his trip will include a visit to an AIDS-widows’ self-help project and a youth programme focused on raising HIV awareness. He will also witness firsthand the work of home-based carers and hospitals in Blantyre and Ekwendeni.
