Newsletter No. 8, September 2011

Dear Visitor,

Again there is a lot of novelty in Kivumu. The most important one is the arrival of electricity. On our webpage you can read about our and our parishioners’ impressions.

During the past month, beside the text about the arrival of electricity, on our webpage we published some other texts, among which are the volunteers’ experiences. If you missed something, pay us a visit and read all about it...

Build up a Metalworker and Welding section

Build up a Metalworker and Welding section In Rwanda it is very hard to get supplies and material as compared to Germany. We had many problems finding good quality materials suitable for the educational needs of the students. Here it is normal to build things with 1.5mm (1/16”) walled steel tubes, especially for fabricating windows and doors for the houses. This material is not the best...

Curriculum Redevelopment

Curriculum Redevelopment From my observations vocational education in Rwanda needs a paradigm shift. At present it is very greatly instructor centred. As a result, instructors, who generally are dedicated, teach what they have been trained to do. As a result virtually the same things are taught and the same five or six items are produced at every trade school throughout East...

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...
