Newsletter br. 19, prosinac 2012.

Poštovanje Visitor,

Ove godine s posebnom radošću dočekujemo Božić. Proslavit ćemo činjenicu da smo snove počeli pretvarati u stvarnost. Kao u nekoj posebnoj bajci!

Izgradnja škole stvarno dobro napreduje, posjetili su nas naši prijatelji-volonteri Ivo Mlakić iz BiH te Valerie Kae Ken iz Kanade koji su pomogli u osmišljavanju novih školskih programa u krojačkom odjelu strukovne škole.

Posebno nas je razveselio dolazak naše bivše učenice Francoise Mukamane koja je za našu stranicu napisala sjajan tekst o tome što obrazovanje donosi mladima.

Sve to, naravno puno opširnije, možete pročitati na našoj web stranici...

The first phase of construction of high school

Dear friends, as you can see for yourselves, we are very busy with the construction of the new technical secondary school. The first phase of construction consists of: 11 classrooms with toilets, two rainwater reservoirs (an underground tank with a capacity of 500 cubic metres, and a surface one with a capacity of 100 cubic metres)...

A Stitch in Time...

Ivo Mlakić & Valerie Kae Ken As we’ve already written, Ivo Mlakić, a very experienced tailor from Bosnia, had come to Kivumu to share some of his practical knowledge and experience with the students and teachers of the tailoring section in our school. Soon after his arrival, Ivo was joined by Valerie Kae Ken, the Canadian fashion designer, who, among numerous...

My Message to Female Students of the Padri Vjeko VTC: Education is the Key!

Francoise Mukamana When I came to enroll in Padri Vjeko Vocational Training Centre, many of my future schoolmates looked at me with a smile on their faces. Because, unlike most of the girls, who decided to enroll in the tailoring course, I was standing in the line for enrollment in the building course. The boys looked at me in astonishment and laughed...

'Manual' Bulldozers and Excavators at Work Again

Manual Bulldozers and Excavators at Work Again We have turned Kivumu into a big construction site! Aside from the school that is being built at full speed, these days we’ve also begun digging reservoirs next to the future school which will serve as huge water containers. Well, yes. That’s how things work here. We don’t have a water-supply pipeline, so we have to take care of everything...

Rwanda without Prejudice

Rwanda without Prejudice My idea of travelling to a faraway place didn’t include visiting the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the exotic Taj Mahal, or getting a chance to admire the lights of New York. Rather, I was thinking of a journey which would take me away from quarrels with my family, love problems, a vague financial future and my conflicting principles and beliefs that...

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...
