Newsletter br. 16, svibanj 2012.

Poštovanje Visitor,

Velike novosti stižu iz našeg Kivumua! Počeli smo ostvarivati dugogodišnji san: krenuli smo s izgradnjom srednje škole!

A završili smo i jedan od naših velikih projekata – postrojenje za proizvodnju bio plina. Kako se odvijaju radovi na izgradnji škole i za što sve koristimo bio plin, ali i kako su Ruandu doživjeli naši posjetitelji iz Hrvatske, možete pročitati na našoj web stranici...

The school is taking shape...

The school is taking shape For our workers it was a major success due to the fact that on many of the past days they had been unable to work at all due to heavy rain and also because everything is done by hand, without the assistance of machines. For the first several days, they’d just been digging... and digging... and digging the foundations. The construction site...

We’re Going Back to Rwanda, That’s for Sure!

Gorilla We wanted to come to Rwanda to see the gorillas, but it was hard to find any information about travelling to this African country. We saw a television show about Franciscans in Rwanda and found an article about fra Ivica on the Internet. That’s how we met ‘Our Man in Africa’, fra Ivica Perić. To the first email we sent to him asking for assistance in...

The Construction of the Secondary School in Kivumu has begun!

The arrival of stone-laden trucks and the excavation of the foundation by more than 50 workers marked the beginning of the construction of the secondary school in Kivumu, Rwanda. With it – just four months after the publishing of the book entitled ‘Our Man in Africa’ (Croatian: ‘Naš čo’ek u Africi’) written by the couple, Željko Garmaz and...

We Have Built a Biogas Plant in Kivumu

A Biogas Plant in Kivumu To get biogas we use the manure from our cows, but also the “waste” from the twelve toilets we have built in the school compound. All that is linked to a big 35-cubic-metre cistern buried in the ground, so all waste is collected there and turned into gas. The gas which is produced in this manner is then transferred to our school kitchen...

Ako ste u mogućnosti, donirajte za obrazovanje djece i rad našeg Centra

Procedura za to je jednostavna i jednaka u svakoj banci. Donacije se mogu uplatiti u američkim dolarima ili u eurima na odjelu za novčano poslovanje u devizama. Sve banke u Hrvatskoj i inozemstvu omogućavaju ovakve uplate. Ukoliko uplatu iz Hrvatske želite izvršiti u kunama to također možete učiniti i to na način da službenika u banci zamolite da vaš novac promijeni u eure ili dolare jer su to jedine valute koje možemo primiti na naš račun u banci u Ruandi.

Volontiranje u Africi

Mnogi imaju želju doći u Afriku. Tako se i nama ljudi nerijetko javljaju sa željom da dođu kao volonteri. Međutim, malo tko shvaća što volontiranje uopće znači. To nije dolazak u našu zajednicu na tri tjedna. Volontiranje podrazumijeva dolazak na najmanje šest mjeseci. I u tom razdoblju svoje vještine i znanja trebaju znati prenijeti na druge. Detaljnije...

Kumstvo djetetu iz Ruande

Potaknuti brojnim upitima naših prijatelja koji bi željeli biti kumovi siromašnoj djeci iz Ruande, želimo objasniti zašto takvu izuzetnu gestu ne prakticiramo. Naime, kumstvo je plemenita, ali i dugotrajna i skupa obveza. Dok je u Ruandi osnovno školovanje obvezatno, ali i besplatno, srednja škola traje šest godina i košta najmanje 300 eura po školskoj godini. Detaljnije...

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...
