With a population of over 93,000, Brockton is the 7th largest city in Massachusetts. Once a powerhouse of manufacturing, and brought to glory by producing prize fighters such as Rocky Marciano and Marvin Hagler; Brockton has fallen on hard times. The 'City of Champions' now faces deep economic and social issues; such as poverty, homelessness, epidemic drug usage, gangs, and a place on the list of the nation's most violent cities.

2015 was another exciting year of progress towards our mission to "bring about sustainable change and a healthier standard of living to the Pikine community in St. Louis, Senegal". In the past year, multiple outreach activities have started or expanded, including prenatal and diabetes clinics, prison outreach, and kids' clubs. The first semester at the new Boys' Vocational School was a success and all of the boys are currently involved in internships. [ 159 more words. ]

April 2015 Update: Trip tp Senegal

SSMN recently put together a team of 20 people that served as a "virtual mission team". We chose not to send a full team to Senegal this year because of the Ebola scare in West Africa. We did, however, want to maintain our relationships with the workers in the field; so the “virtual team” brainstormed, contacted our workers, fundraised and put together videos, letters and "care packages".

Today we started by wiring lights in one of the mechanic bays at the boys vocational school. From there I changed "hats" (and clothes) and went to the district hospital where we met with the doctor in charge of public health in the region. In the afternoon we met with 2 more families where we shared stories, letters and Ataya (the traditional tea). Another exceptional day!
