Kimbilio continues to show care to those children who, for many reasons, had been forced to work in the mines of Lubumbashi.
One of the activities for children who come to live in both the short-term and the long-terrm houses is to be creative in paint or materials.One of the Kimbilio leaders, Joel Kidindwe, takes regular lessons where the children can enjoy sketching in pencil, crayon or paints, and make objects using different materials. It is lovely to see children, who may have missed out on academically in their lives, achieving success with their creations. Their faces show what joy and confidence this brings.
I must report that Jean Bosco, the director of Kimbilio in Lubumbashi, passed away suddenly from Covid in July. He set an amazing example in the way he worked diligently and led Kimbilio for seven years with compassion, gentleness and humility, improving the lives of many vulnerable children. We will miss him greatly. Two senior members of the team have stepped forward to undertake Jean's duties and we will review the position in three months..
The new Kimbilio school is almost complete. The head teacher has been appointed, staff are being recruited and the school will open next month
