Caritas,
tests and demolitions
In the weekend Fr. Luk, a Belgian
Salesian who is the National Director of Caritas Centrafrique, came to visit us
here in Bozoum. The purpose of his mission was to visit the Caritas of our
diocese, a reality which is under my responsibility. We talked a lot about how
to make Caritas more and more dynamic, because it shouldn’t be a kind of NGO financed
by external sources, but should become instead able to serve its purpose which
is to liven up the charity in the various parishes, in such a way that
Christians can look after troubled people and act consequently.
On Monday we received a visit from
Andrea Tani, who lives in Bangui as representative of the Italian Agency for
Development Cooperation. With him we visited the different realities of the
Mission.
With regard to the work of
enlargement of the church, it was a rather important week. We have demolished
part of the previous building, and posed other two large trusses of about 11
meters each. Now finally we begin to see something really exciting! All we see
now as a reality it’s due to a good team of masons and carpenters, and some
volunteers. Here a video:
Wednesday and Thursday we welcomed
about 150 students from other schools who would like to attend our elementary
school "Isidore Bakanjia" or our Elementary-High School "St.
Augustin". Those admitted were around thirty. Unfortunately the
educational system of the Country is still in severe crisis.
