So much is in a name. It is with both joy and sorrow that Shomeka has today found a name for the medical clinic: the Nico Memorial Clinic. Jesus carried Nico Everett Swenson into heaven this past Tuesday, June 3, 2008. Nico was the beautiful son of dear friends, Adam and Maureen Swenson, and little brother to loving sister Katja. Even though he was shy of his 1st birthday, Nico managed to touch the lives of so many by his sweet countenance and by demonstrating God's miracles day after day.
We would like to honor Nico and his family by not only naming the clinic in his memory, but more so, by pledging to stay faithful to the cause of Shomeka....to promote life and health and hope for those in need of medical care like Nico and his mother.
For those who are learning of Shomeka Outreach for the first time, we are currently building a maternity clinic in southern Zambia that will provide prenatal, labor and delivery, and postnatal care for families in this region of Africa. The clinic construction began this May.
Donations in Nico's honor will go towards the building of this clinic.
