Off we go!
On Sunday
the 27th of July, downtown was floded after the intense rains of the night.
Little damages but few neighborhoods remained isolated for few hours.
We are in
full rainy season and whilst the work in the fields intensifies some other
realities are slowed down. Schools are closed, few examinations left to be
done, such as the BC Brevet des Collèges, at the end of secondary school
and BAC, degrees.
On Tuesday
and Wednesday I met with the Education functionaries. Thanks to The Lord and
with so many people's help, especially Siriri association from Czech Republic,
all the schools here in Bozoum have been able to work as usual during last
year, which had very little normality. Together with the head departments we've
been preparing for next year, reopening will be mid September.
Thanks to
the help of a brotherhood in Cuneo this year we'll also be able to help out the
kids of primary school, as we'll be able to grant their teacher a small fee.
It's only a
small drop, but the rebirth of out country starts from training and education!
The
situation here is extremely fragile. These days clashes have been reported
about 300 km far from here in Batangafo, with at least 20 people killed. Roads
are still very bad, there are many illegal barriers, and cars full of cows to
be sold in the capital, leaving the countryside empty and destroying the cattle
breeding of this country.
Off we go. Slowly, but we go
