Bakanja Center, Lubumbashi, Kongo
My best friend Gabina is currently working as a volunteer at the Bakanja Center, Lubumbashi, Kongo. Taking care of aprox. 80 young guys mostly from the street who do not have parents or whose parents just cannot support them. I have been sceptic to this kind of volunteering work. I like the way they handle this center, though. Trying to build new things which are suppose to be managed by local people in the future. Sometimes it may seem as a Sysifof's job, but even a small change which remains should be highly appreciated. Anyway.. I know sh.. about Gabca's work, just from the letters.. let her talk:
"Decka jsou fajn; daji se celkem od sebe royeynat; jenye nepamatuju si
jejich jmena: u nas bwdli 78 kluku a skolu navstevuje jeste vice...
Zatim se roykoukavam; ame n,ejspis budu v ¨reditelne¨ kontrolovat
sesity a yadavat ukoly a po obede doucovat ve skupince a vecer ,si trikrat
