Missionary Work
 
Aeri Lee has visited Kumi annually and is the U.S. contact person.  Every summer Aeri teaches music at the Reformed Theological College in Kampala, Uganda.  YCVM's director Silver Omakenyi was her student, and she came to know of YCVM through him.  Aeri is a professional pianist and music teacher in the San Francisco Bay Area.
 

 
Here we see Silver playing a xylophone-type instrument made of simple wood boards. The adungu (seen on the chair next to Aeri) is a traditional instrument that is plucked to make sound.  Silver is a former Ugandan national champion adungu player.  Aeri is playing a finger piano.

 2009 Summer Mission Trip

 

 

In the summer of 2009, a team from Chinese Community United Methodist Church in Oakland CA traveled to Kumi for two weeks to join forces with YCVM and further their goals.  Find out more at the Kumi Konnect blog here.
