Dear All,

It has been a year since our dear friend Maria Agnese Giraudo passed on.
For those who can remember her, Maria was an inspirational figure and great contributor in the MSL Forums.
Nafsi Africa Acrobats from Kenya were in Rome on the 26th April 2012 to commemorate Maria and spread her ashes.
Below are links with account of the proceedings.
We will always cherish Maria for her generousity and firm actions against exploitation of the disadvantaged.
She contributed immensely towards positive social change and the development of disadvantaged communities.

Her legacy will live on.

Peace,

Ken Owino
Nafsi Africa Acrobats
