The new year has started in Ek’abana center in Bukavu with joy and enthusiasm. Sister Natalina and all the staff are hoping to continue offering full support to these children in need.
The day to day at Ek’abana is very intense: study, house work, games… It is at the end of the day, while doing recap, when the fruits of the whole work done are reaped. The girls talk about their experiences and share their feelings and thoughts. At this fundamental point we get to see how little by little they are leaving behind the traumas they have after being accused of witchcraft and rejected by their families. This progress takes place thanks to the individual monitoring and to some specific recreational activities and, of course, thanks to our donors’ precious support.
Besides, some new cases of family reintegration will take place soon.To this end we are working with the girls and their families in order to accompany a process which guarantees the girls’ rights and allows them to recover their family life. The girls regain faith in themselves and become ready to forgive and come together with their families, and so do their relatives. This moments of reconciliation give us great joy. Even so, Ek’abana’s doors will always remain open for them.
We would like to thank once again all of our donors and encourage you to go on supporting this project, so that these girls show the world that they can achieve great things.
