Germantown High students in Joan's "The Stained Glass Project" of the after school program of the First United Methodist Church of Germantown created 18 magnificent stained glass windows to be sent to a school for AIDS orphans in Ngcolosi South Africa. These windows are now on display at the Fairmount Park Welcome Center in Love... Park through July 31st.
