Events And Other Activities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We had different set of activities during this quarter:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We Lost Our Sister and Daughter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are very saddened to announce you the death of our daughter and sister Jose Ilunga <\/strong>(married 2 years ago) who passed away last June 22nd, 2021 from a long term disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The orphanage lacked the means to help with the funerals but we did get help from some partners and friends, including Missionary Jean-Paul Dietrich and Jethro Muyombi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COVID Protocols<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We are still sensitizing the girls and employees about the future of our orphanage and the pandemic we are facing so that God may help us through our church and partners worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legal Issue<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An anonymous family signaled de disappearance of their daughter. We were summoned alongside other orphanages to appear before the authorities for questioning and investigations. The director of CEJAL answered the call accompanied by our church lawyer. The orphanage was obviously cleared and we had to pay $150 to the lawyer for his services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

We have faced a few cases this last quarter among children and employees as well:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choudelle I:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We consulted a doctor from South Africa here in Lubumbashi. He saw Choudelle and gave us his estimation of $8,800 for her case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime Choudelle is experiencing pain and she is almost always in her bed. She can hardly manage to go to school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We ask for good willing people to help Choudelle so that she can recover from this painful situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Victoire M:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

After surgery the screws were taken off. She will have an X-ray next month for control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

We Give Thanks:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To all of you we say \u201cthanks a lot\u201d: the children are praying for you. They need to keep smiling especially during these difficult times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
