On a ditch, on a bush

Through ditches, bushes, hills, valleys, rivers and ravines, our Congolese staff are on their way to carry out the leprosy screening programme we support. In the Sankuru and Kole areas in the centre of the vast country, a doctor, the finance director and an assistant have been in the field for the past week screening villagers. The breathtakingly beautiful scenery they received, from the images they were shown, is certainly a picture of danger and total vulnerability!

Let us remember our great colleagues with love and prayer and support their heroic work!
