Friar Vjeko and Saint Anthony

St. Anthony of Padua Fra Vjeko can certainly be counted among the numerous martyrs in the history of the Bosnian Franciscan Province. He was buried in the church he built in Kivumu and in which he served. People gather around his grave even today to pay him respect, show him gratitude, and pray to him. The 13th death anniversary of Fra Vjeko has somehow shrouded us in the spirit of St. Anthony...

What a future for Rwanda

Kakva budućnost za Ruandu The teaching challenges occupied our thoughts for the most part, as teaching was what we were there to do. At the end of each day, Jayne and I would sit outside one of our rooms and reflect on what had happened. We bounced ideas off each other and discussed what had worked and what hadn’t and how we could adjust our lessons to fit...

“Man's“ Job - Women Teachers

Dancille Ayimkaniye In a still conservative Rwanda, until recent times, it was impossible to imagine that – for example – a girl could get an education to become a carpenter or a mason. But Fr. Ivica knows no boundaries. Girls not only attend such courses, but some of them were so good in what they did that they become teachers! Yes, among the new...

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...

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...
