We are so thankful for our faithful donors who have made it possible to give the children a wholesome breakfast on the morning of the exams, as well as good meal on the last day of school (Thank you so much dear Neema, Jean-Emile, SOKIN, Congo Foods, Mahesh and Marsavco for your generosity and concern). That cheered their hearts and helped those who will have to repeat their school year to forget the sad repercussions of the lockdown.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Neema also collected and donated clothes, shoes and school bags for the new school year and made many happy and thankful hearts as it would have been very difficult for the parents to properly equip their kids with the economic repercussions of the covid19.

Aristote continues to minister to the children in his neighborhood using the character and faith-building classes and activities of the STEPS Program. Parents are now flocking to bring their kids for him to teach them about Jesus and he’s having to organize several sessions. Thankfully, Tresor is now helping him but he’s asking for prayer for the Lord’s anointing for this ministry, as well as supply of all the help he needs both with extra hands and financially as he would like to feed the kids who usually come on an empty stomach.
