It rains and rains

We had a bizarre rainy season here this year in Central Africa.

It almost felt like the rains were over, and just as I am writing this it is raining. It ends up being better this way.

Last Friday I went down to Bangui again, both for the construction site of the new convent and to welcome Daniela Dalmasso, a cousin of mine, who is a midwife, on Sunday morning. She is here for a few weeks to lend a hand to provide staff teachings on various techniques, especially for the most difficult situations.

As soon as she disembarked from the plane, we loaded the suitcases and left immediately for the North. Around 1 pm we were in Bossemptele, welcomed by the community of nuns. After a short visit to the hospital, we continued towards Baoro.

We stopped in Mbormo, where we just rearranged the schools, and in particular the nursery school.

At 15.30 we were in Baoro, and were still able to make a trip to the church of Kouisso Baguera, 7 km away. I brought, from Bangui, Charlemagne and Alexis, two young Central African artists, who will create the decorations of what is intended to be a small shrine dedicated to the Virgin Mary.

Monday morning I will take Daniela to Maigaro, about ten kilometers from Bouar, where there is a beautiful hospital run by Sister Giulia. It is here that Daniela will be able to work in the maternity ward of the local hospital.
