The walls of the primary school are reaching up into the sky. They are eager to hold a roof and to house a dream 10 years in the making. These walls will support the dreams of hundreds of young minds and before too long they will nurture the optimism of thousands of individuals eager to make a difference in the world.
These walls have been built brick by brick and are a monument to the commitment of REVE Kandale and the community. Everyone in Kandale has had a hand in its creation - from the purchase of the brick making machine to the sand collection by the river banks and the red clay from the adjoining hillside; from the purchase of cement and water tanks in Kinshasa to the cultivation of the gardens that feed the workers; from the intense compression that is applied in making every brick and to the gentle hands that turn them in the sun for drying.
All these parts are coming together, and now we need a roof to complete the dream. Think of Kandale on this Giving Tuesday.
We wish Colette a safe journey to DRC and Kandale. Kwenda mbote Mama.
