Mother's Day
and surroundings
Theoretically May 29 we should
celebrate Mother's Day. But for years, in Central Africa, being able to follow
the calendar it’s too often a dream.
The reason? The politicians’
extravagances. Many festivals dates change in order to make easy for the
Government Ministries to attend the ceremonies in the Provinces, but in
practice the celebration often skips or loses its meaning. Anyhow on Sunday
June 5th we wanted to celebrate in our parish the greatness and the beauty of
the woman. At the end of the Mass the girls of Aita Kwe (Catholic Action Kids) did
perform for them a song, a poem and a dance, offering some simple gifts to the
mothers. After the Mass, we had a simple party and dances.
During the week we continue with the
works for the extension of our Church. The daily works and different
commitments of our Italian friends continue: Mario and his wife Luigina, and
Elisabetta, a girl from Milan who will spend a period of time in Central Africa
to help out and give a hand.
The doors to provide help are open;
there is room for people of good will.
