No bandits!
No bandits
this week! On Thursday, October 26th, after a very uncomfortable night still
scared because of what append earlier with the bandits inside our Mission, we
got up early at 5.00 am in order to go towards Bangui. I bring there the Indian
Sisters of which two of them are Superiors leaving on Friday. They bare on
their journey back to Sudan, Are leaving also Fathers Andrea, Lorenzo and
Davide who came for the great Priesthood Ordinations. Despite a convoy trucks
(escorted by the UN Peace Keepers), we did arrive in Bangui at 1.00 pm. In the
afternoon and the next morning I take part to various meetings, and on Saturday
morning I begin my journey back to Bozoum.
Are three
weeks now that I have been traveling between Bozoum, Bangui and Bouar, and in
19 days I have been driving and driving for 4,200 km. Courage!
Between
Sunday and Wednesday I am finally home in Bozoum, On Monday we have a first
meeting with the teachers of our St. Augustine's Middle and High School. It is
about checking how the schools are doing class by class.
Tuesday I
visit the schools for refugees: 8 classes, where a variable (too variable I
should say) number of students finally attends school. The number of kids goes
from 210 and 400- The refugees are
undecided between stayng in Bozoum or going back to Bocaranga and elsewhere .
Educational
work is a must. Just in these weeks, thanks to the benefactors from USA and our
brothers from Czech Republic, we are close to end building two new schools: one
at Kpari and one at Konkere.
Courage!
