Tailors and carpenters
I am resuming the blog, after a bit of silence.
On Friday 22 August, we concluded the cutting and sewing course that we, as Caritas, have been organising for the past six months. Supported by a parish in Granada (Spain), the course welcomed around sixty people (mostly women, but also a dozen men). During these months, they learned the basics of cutting and sewing, both by hand and with sewing machines.
Meanwhile, our carpentry workshop is building dozens of school desks, financed partly by the Fundacion Bangassou, partly by friends in Rome. School starts in a few weeks, and some schools (such as Gambo and Lanome) have already received some.
We have a lot of office work these weeks, to send reports of the various projects to Rome (especially to the Pontifical Missionary Works), Spain and Italy.
These last two Sundays I have been celebrating Mass in the chapels of the villages around here: Sunday, 24 August in Pande, and today, 31 August, in Mbalazime.
