Construction sites
In
the month of July pastoral work in the villages continued. Having
exhausted those on the road to Carnot, now it is time for the 5 villages
on the road to Bossemptele: Bawi, Zoungbe, Barka Bongo, Balembe and
Dobere.
On
Sunday, July 9th we celebrated baptisms in Bawi for five boys and
girls. The mass with baptisms is always well attended, and it is a
celebration that unites the whole village, Catholics and non-Catholics.
After Mass I left immediately for Bangui, where I arrived in the evening under a heavy rain, typical of the season.
I
was there with Patriot and Louis, the two carpenters of the Baoro
mission, and with them, between Monday and Wednesday, we fixed 60 frames
between windows and doors. It was a long and hard job, but we worked
hard together.
Central
Africa is also in the upcoming news: in a couple of weeks there will be
a referendum to change the constitution. The current one, drawn up in
2016, is to be replaced by a new one. The official pretext is to "adapt"
it to the current situation. In reality there are ulterior motives to
further restrict the current presidents various mandates (who with the
2016 Constitution is unable to run again).
These are important and serious decisions, which can further destabilize an already very fragile country. We will see!
