Wonderful times!

 

 

 


Work in progress

 

Wonderful times!

The start of the school year is quickly approaching, and we proceeded with cleaning and fixing up of some of our schools.

We have just finished putting a fresh coat of paint at the school of Pate Bonambolo, and we are on our way to the school in Kouisso Baguera.  We finished painting the nuns' school, here in Baoro. It was a little "gray", and is now an explosion of color. It looks very nice!

Last Friday I managed to get the Covid vaccine, here in Baoro. Thanks be to God, and thanks to the good will of many people, the vaccines have also arrived here in Central Africa. Despite the very little publicity, the inoculated doses are already 150,000. This is a good result, all things considered.

Saturday morning I left for Niem, a village 70 km from Bouar, an area infested by rebels.  This was where a few months ago Fr Arialdo, the parish priest, had jumped over a mine (wrecked car, trauma and wounds, and a dead man). I went to Niem to arrange some things in the chapel of the Sisters: a panel depicting a Last Supper. To help make the chapel more beautiful. It is a space of encounter with God, where it is beautiful to pray.

Today, Thursday 23 September, the catechists of the city and villages are gathered here in Baoro for three days of meeting and prayer. Almost forty people are committed to bringing the Gospel to the smallest communities.

How wonderful!
