Kimbilio continues to show care to those girls who, for many reasons, have been forced to live on the streets of Lubumbashi. One of the activities for girls 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 girls can enjoy sketching in pencil, crayon or paints, and make objects using different materials. It is lovely to see girls, 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. Jean has been a father figure to the team and to the children, wise and kind to all, and 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
