Sr. Gloria Sedes,
depicting African rural life

Sr. Gloria Sedes was born in Madrid (Spain) in 1951. She did her nursing studies in Barcelona (Spain), and she joined the MSOLA in 1975. She has worked many years in Chad in preventive medicine and forming birth attendants.
She is actually in Chad working as a nurse.
Her missionary life has brought her to Burundi, and to Chad where she has worked as a nurse while using her artistic talents to help people to understand the functioning of their body, to learn about health issues and to have a better grasp of their surroundings.
In Chad she has formed a team of midwifes, simple women, who are ready to help other women. For their formation she did many drawings to illustrate the situations, the body, the reality around.
She has a capacity to grasp life. Her scenes of Chadian rural life are simple and vivid.

In Mexico where she has spent some years doing "Mission Animation", she created an awareness of
Africa through art and in her meeting with other artists.

During the following months we will be presenting some of her drawings.

Cartoons on Spirituality .See some of her illustrations of "Spiritual life". She has a way of
transposing "deep insides" with humour and simplicity through her cartoons.
