Joy and pain
As soon as I returned to Central Africa, I found myself facing some
difficulties, but also some happiness.
The COVID situation, which had not touched the country much, has become more
serious. In only a few days, a few hundred new cases were announced, bringing
the total number of people affected to 5787 since March 2021. Low numbers, but
the increase is becoming worrisome.
In Baoro, in the upcoming days, I will be accompanying Father Davide, from our
Missions Office of Arenzano, to visit the village schools. We will be updating
the photos for long distance adoptions, which allow us to support the 9 schools
in Baoro, where 1,700 children receive a healthy, solid and serene education.
On Monday I went to Bozoum, where the situation is still difficult because some
villages in the surrounding area have become the bases for rebel groups. Due to
the rebel bases nearly a thousand people have fled the villages to Bozoum. Some
have come to the parish, others have gone to relatives or friends. Like
Caritas, we are organizing the distribution of food and medicines for those
seeking refuge from the rebels.
In Bozoum I greeted the children of both the elementary and middle schools and
the highschool students of St. Augustin.
It is always nice to see them again, and it leaves room for hope, a hope that
grows with them. In Bozoum I brought greetings, but also the money for the
scholarships for our students, thanks to the many friends of Cuneo and its
surroundings.
Early
Tuesday morning I went down to Bangui, where I found Giovanni Grossi Bianchi,
an architect from Genoa. He is here, because in the coming
weeks, after years of discussions and work, we will be starting the
construction of the new Carmel convent and it is going to be a very large site.
Tomorrow, Saturday, I will be returning to Baoro, for other jobs and other
adventures.
