Newsletter No. 14, March 2012

Dear Visitor,

It is true that during the last couple of months we haven’t published a great deal of articles on our web page. But there is a pretty good excuse for that. We invested a lot of time, work, and effort in promoting the book “Our Guy in Africa” (“Naš čo’ek u Africi”) throughout Europe, and so we simply weren’t able to find enough time to write news from our parish. Time has really flown!

Nonetheless, if you haven’t seen it already, pay a visit to our website and read how one of our visitors experienced Africa.

And, by our next newsletter, we promise that you will be greeted by many more interesting news articles on the website!

And if there is any land available, the price is very high compared with the Rwandan standards. The price for our new school is around 70.000 Euros. We need help to do this and we invite you to donate for our new school. More info...

Father Vjeko Ćurić

He didn’t flee like the other foreigners. He stayed at the side of his parishioners. When refugees from Kigali came pouring here, Vjeko hired staff to prepare them food. He was the only one who concerned himself with the refugees, taking care of them until the very end of the tragedy that befell Rwanda. Read more...

Kivumu Parish

Kivumu Parish is relatively a small with about 60km2 with Christian Population 30,000 within its borders. The area is overpopulated especially if everybody has to live his/her own garden. An estimate of 40-50% of the population can not afford to provide daily meals to their families. Read more...

Small Christian Communities

As a parish we prefer the small Christian Community method. In these groups people learn to help one another. It is actually referred to as Church in the neighborhood where people pray and work together. We put a lot of effort to see that these structures function and are fruitful to them. Read more...
