School for 600 children victim of war in DR Congo

The security situation is calm in the Kazimia region in relation to the Middle , Highlands, and north-west of Fizi where Bantu armed groups clash and to the national army and armed groups of Congolese Tutsi (Banyamulenge).

In the meantime, fishing is abundant and miraculous in Kazimia; the flagship species of Lake Tanganyika, the so-called "Ndagaa" fry and the "Mikeke" fish are the happiness of the populations which reinvigorate the good health to the children who will join the School next week (after two long months of holidays) for a new school year (2019-2020).

Preparations for the start of the school year are underway: enrollment of new students, manufacture of new benches and purchase of various educational materials.

As for the construction, we are raising the separation walls of the rooms before going to the frame.

“Il est heureux d’arriver à ce stade"says one teacher, that means in English It's happy to get to this point”.

Dear nonkilling friends, your generous donations are preparing a new world, a nonkilling society. Dream together for this world and act for it by more donations.

Best nonkillings.

School Construction (18)

The conflict situation and wars between the Bantu peoples (Wanyindu, Wafulero and Babembe) on the one hand and Banyamulenge (Congolese Tutsi) on the other hand endure on the middle and high plateaus of Fizi. At 80 km from  Kazimia region, several villages are burned, entire populations are on the run, some have found refuge in Kazimia.

In Kazimia, the children are studying peacefully and moving slowly towards the end of the school year. The big holidays are waiting  them!

As for the construction, it is progressing well, the concreting of walls is finished and it is followed by a slight elevation of the walls. Boards are purchased and assembled for structural (frame) work.

« Comme les planches vient de loin (de la région de Talama, à plus de 50 km), dit le Directeur de l’Ecole, nous les amenons au fur et à mesure, pour la charpente » ; this French sentence means in English  "As the boards come from far away (from the region of Talama, more than 50 km), says the Headmaster, we bring them gradually, for the frame".

Dear nonkilling Friends, we thank you for your generous donations that are preparing a new world, a nonkilling society. But your donations also value human dignity for our region, which is suffering the horrendous atrocities of war.

What a joy to receive more donations for us to achieve our goals: healthy study halls for children victims of the war!

No more killing!

Nonkilling Culture crosses all lines.
