Travels
As for the last
few days in Italy I felt very busy: meetings, greetings, celebrations. Finally
on Monday I leave. With me there are other three people: Henry Massone ( a
builder, coming to RCA since 1987 every year!), Alessio (builder himself, and
Sister Beatrice a Clarissa nun.
In our travel
back home we faced some delay, something unexpected, but we got well in Bangui.
On Tuesday at 6.00 pm we were in our convent “Carmel”.
On Wednesday we
went through meetings and meetings. The most beautiful it was the one with approximately
twenty young people of UASCA (a small association that collects kids coming from
the seminary at Yole, in Bouar, where I worked for ten years).
They wanted to
see me in order to have information about the Award regarding “Human Rights”
which I received in Madrid. I take this opportunity to encourage and stimulate
them to think seriously to become able to make choices and act for the good of
their Country.
At 5.30 am on Thursday
we leave for Bozoum. 400 km of road are ahead of us, thankfully no surprises on
sight. We reach Bossemptele. Here we visit Hyppolite, hospitalized because of a
fracture and other health problems. He's well enough, and we hope he can recover
soon.
Around noon we
are in Bozoum, at the right moment when pupils leave school: a human river of
children and young men and women, all of them screaming: "Aurelio, Aurelio,
Aurelio".
At the Mission I
find Fr. Enrico, Fr. Norberto, and the Nuns. In the afternoon of that same day
we had a meeting in order to organize the Agricultural Fair, to be held in
Bozoum from January 31 to February 1st.
Enrico and
Alessio are put to work very soon. We have to remake the warehouses roofs to install
solar panels. It’s a great project, which should allow us to have power 24
hours a day ending the use of generators.
Really many job
sites in our Mission: school, parish, buildings, Agricultural Fair.
At this point: good
job to all in Bozoum!
