Going back home
My
daily chronical goes on, event by event. Last Saturday I left Yaounde,
Cameroon Capital, wanting to reach Douala, a city on the sea, or rather,
where the river flows into the sea. I travel by coach, very
comfortable, even if, to cover the distance of 250 km it takes four and a
half hours. Sunday morning I make a stop for a visit to the Sisters of
Mercy of Douala, then I go to the airport, and around 1.00 pm, with a
little delay, I leave towards Bangui. Here I give myself a short moment
for a quick hello to some friends, and also to see the excellent
preparation of the working area for the production of clay bricks. The
work will begin (I hope) in January. Monday morning at 6.30 am I'm at
the airport. A long waiting time. I should leave towards Bouar with a
flight of MINUSCA (the UN Peace Keepers) at 11.00 am and instead the
departure is delayed at 1.30 pm. The plane is a russian Antonov, as
Russian is the crew and all the signs. At 2.30 I am in Bouar, and I can
take the road back home 5.00 pm, having with me Alberto, who comes to
Bozoum for a week as a dentist, reopening the dental office. This dental
service has been kept open and operative for years by the Association
"Friends for Central Africa". In these days the displaced persons are
going back to Bocaranga. After almost two months, many families decided
to return home. It will be hard (many will have to rebuild their house),
but it is always better than living far away. We will try to continue
to help them there too.
