This video highlights the work of SDOP in Panama we've been working there for seven years and have funded over 60 projects. The video was conceived by Panamanians in an effort for them to share the news of the shared work with people in their own country. Presbyterians can see how their contribution to the OGHS offering has been used overseas. Click on the link to watch clips of this video.
