At his farewell, the chairman of the mission, Rev Van der Zwan, recalled that Br. Van Leeuwen had never been on a working visit to Burundi. He did not need to, said Br.

From Culemborg, there will be a new representative on the committee. We thank Br Van Leeuwen for his years of commitment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
