Mechanical school: last act, etc.
Friday 16 July, the feast of the Madonna del Carmine.
While
in Bangui Cardinal Nzapalainga blessed the first stone of the new
Carmelite convent, in Baoro we celebrated the end of the school year for
the fifty or so young people who attended it. They are students who
come from Bouar, Baoro, Ngaundaye, Berberati, Bangui… and who
attended courses (theory and a lot of practical work) for 2 years.
Thanks
to various friends, including the MAMO Foundation of Verona, we were
able to end the year and give the second years their "Mechanic"
certificate. The first 5 students also received a bag with tools, which
will allow them to start working.
Some of them, in the following days, also started driving school lessons, which will last until mid-August.
Sunday,
July 18th I celebrated baptisms in Barka Bongo, and on Wednesday I went
down to Bangui to follow the work of the new convent.
Thursday I
went to Batalimo, a village on the Oubangui River, in the middle of the
forest, 120 km from Bangui. Here I visited a sawmill, to choose the
timber for the doors and windows, which we will make in the Baoro
carpentry.
Friday morning I met the construction company staff,
to present the project and to have them participate in this great work
of construction.
Good job.
