Our country is experiencing a 3rd wave of the Covid-19 pandemic (with the Delta variant). Barrier measures have been reactivated throughout the national territory and the curfew has been reinstated. Some hospitals are overwhelmed. The statistics of those affected are increasing: 48,128 cases are counted, for 29,497 healings and 1,023 deaths. Apart from Kinshasa, our capital, our province of South Kivu and that of North Kivu are the most affected.
Our School, Glenn Paige Nonkilling School, suffers the full brunt of the consequences of this pandemic since it lives mainly on the resources of trafficking in people and goods generated by our boat on the traffic on Lake Tanganyika between Burundi, the DR Congo and Tanzania. However, this traffic is currently almost non-existent following border closures.
Being closed until now, we plan to open our School with the next school year (2021/2022) next October. Preparations are advanced.
Despite these difficult times, construction continues: the different classrooms are separated by walls and we are in the process of buying various construction materials (bricks, cements, iron, boards for the roof) in Uvira to be able to transport them. to our construction site (Kazimia).
We sincerely thank our generous donors around the world for their unwavering support. We are always counting on your generosity to move the project forward. May God protect and bless you.
