INTERVIEW: Maja Sajler Garmaz

Two journalists, Maja Sajler Garmaz and Željko Garmaz, who are married to each other, wrote a book entitled “Our Man in Africa” (“Naš čo’ek u Africi”) after their trip to Africa. Maja and Željko went to Africa for their honeymoon. They returned full of impressions and with a firm decision to help the local people. The construction of the...

The Kivumu Secondary School – A Triumph of Good People’s Hearts!

Željko Garmaz, fra Ivica Perić, Maja Sajler Garmaz More than a year ago, when my dear friends, Željko Garmaz and Maja Sajler Garmaz, contacted me announcing that they were coming to Rwanda to write a book about me and the missionary work of Croatian priests in East Africa, I replied like I always do when people ask me about such stuff: “You just come!” I hadn’t given the book any thought...

Lions and Giraffes in Akagera

Lions and Giraffes in Akagera Foreigners pay one price, and the locals pay another. You also have to sign two registration forms and indicate that you would be exiting via the same entrance, all for security reasons. The day was very sultry. Fra Ivica had warned us that, on one part of the road, we would have “difficulties” with horse-flies. We did survive it, though it was...

My Second Week in Africa

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...
